In meiner Jugend durfte ich meinen Ferientage auf dem Lande verbringen. In dem schönen kleinen Örtchen Siebeneich in Baden-Württemberg. Dort passierten Dinge, die für einen jugendlichen Stadtmenschen undenkbar – und deshalb auch nachhaltig prägend – waren. Das Schlachten eines Tieres oder gar das Fensterln beeindruckten mich derart, dass ich es für notwendig erachtete, diese Sachverhalte für die Nachwelt zu erhalten.

Die Texte vollziehen eine belletristische als auch analytische Auseinandersetzung in Form von Essays und Gesprächen. Im Zentrum stehen Fragen nach künstlerischer Autonomie und Angemessenheit, Fragen nach einer neuen Ästhetik. Diese Ausrichtung ist nicht nur belletristisch interessant, sondern auch mit Blick auf einen Markt gerichtet, der zunehmend gleichartige, zum Verwechseln ähnliche Bücher produziert, die sich lediglich preislich differenzieren ließen.
