(np) Hubert Fichte at the Starclub

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

  ... you have to wait 53 seconds before Hubert Fichte starts to read from "Die Palette",his famous novel about an underground honky-tonk in St. Pauli from the early/mid 1960s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUvJxLgBeJg Fichte's "ethnopoetical" aproach allowed him to write quasi comparatistically about homegrown Hamburg subcultures (especially the gay scene, pimp culture, S&M) as well as about Afro-Caribbean cults. Great traveler who always --- even in the jungleof Brazil --- had a copy of Proust's big one with him. All in all he spent years abroad,staying at places like Haiti, Miami/Fla., Cuba, or NYC. Today he is nearly forgotten,though he was perhaps the best German prose writer of Pynchon's generation. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Fichte We have three portrait foto pictures of famous people in our house:Heidegger, Deleuze and --- Hubert Fichte.  Keep cool and care!Kai
