Cultural Writing. Literary Criticism. Translated and introduced by John E. Woods, these radio dialogs represent some of the conversations of Arno Schmidt, a major German modernist writer, performed on radio from 1955 to 1971. Included are dialogs on German authors Barthold Heinrich Brockes, Christoph Martin Wieland, Ludwig Tieck, and Karl May; the British Brontes; and the Irish master James Joyce. A second volume of these dialogs is forthcoming in early 2000 from Green Integer.
