L’Autriche d’Arno Geiger, Robert Menasse et Josef Winkler

From the collection « L’Europe des écrivains » / Documentary of Michaël Gaumnitz, with Nils C. Ahl / Coproduction ARTE France / Les Poissons volants 

Austria, the “Republic of the Alps”, was long the cultural and historical center of Europe, as European social and political events frequently remind us. Similarly, the vibrant artistic and literary scene vacillates between refinement and violence, and evidences a long creative tradition. Three writers, Josef Winkler, Robert Menasse, and Arno Geiger give us their different but complementary views of a country, a language, and a history that provide fertile ground for their writing.
