[jochen stremmel]

I bet you won't think different about Hesse and Boell but about Henscheid?
most definitely.

After I sent my last mail I thought – why, nobody mentioned it yet, but
before you look at your statement about Geht in Ordnung etc. again you
should read The Aesthetics of Resistance by Peter Weiss – Leavetaking and
Vanishing Point I would also rank higher than anything by Henscheid. Sorry.
And I read his books when they were published and enjoyed them thoroughly,
don't get me wrong.
