It was a long way to go. But in contrast to a real refugee I have known my new home already.

Yes and no. It is very free, but also on yourself – it is a very lonely country. Everyone is sitting in front of his Computer or the paper and writes. Only on Reading tours and Festivals to come in close contact with the colleagues.

Well, actually, it is an ideal time to write and also to read. The anyway best in Isolation. But many authors live readings. This way now. Nevertheless, I would not say that it hits the writer, in comparison to other artists, so hard.

In my philosophical work, I am in something of a crisis of Language. In academic language, you must specify its arguments and concepts in such a way that I had the feeling that I was passing targets on the actual Meaning.

You tried to bring an Argument as many of the individual cases. Here, the case is lost. I realized: If I tell, then the individual comes to his right.

When I began to study philosophy, I had the almost embarrassing dream, I could now everything is Vague and Uncertain out of the way and get a safe ground on which to stand.

Yes, this is a kind of intellectual peat-cutters, where you throw everything Dirty behind, until the spade umbiegt to the truth.

of Course not, because it doesn’t exist. Today, I am suspicious of this image deeply. Philosophy is not something that gives me security, but to me rather unsettled. And to me it is anyway less about Find than Invent. As I thought, I can tell.

Yes, but in the era of Big Data everything has to be made measurable. Then will explains that this is important what we can measure, and all others are ignored.

One of many functions is very foreign to us living realities closer to. As a result, we develop solidarity for those who were previously foreign.

It could perhaps be said to tell of himself, to put his own biography in a story, mark the point of the incarnation. There is probably no animal that has a narrative of itself.

If anyone can tell a story about yourself – you don’t have to elaborate, then life will be very difficult. Stories are a part of being human.

And complaints you can hear about both sides: The one complaining about the insane quantification of the world; others say that there are far too many stories, which come to a narrative arbitrariness is the same. Both diagnoses voices.

He recognizes a real problem in storytelling: stories are often misused to dry Numbers down massage. The Telling is as a lubricant for hard materials. Hell all come out to pack into an easily digestible Story, is not the right way.

It speaks nothing against it, but the risk is that you’re trying to simplify something too much is.

no, with soon the has nothing to do with it. You can write a short, deep Text, while you can lose yourself in a long.

of course You have to read more than the headline. A story can, of course, not on a headline reduce. A Problem of simplification is that you have to clean up the ambivalence – trying to tell a clear story. But few subjects in our world are clear. There are always different perspectives on a topic.

Certainly, this is a Campaign speech. And if you want to win a campaign, not around you as a drum. If, however, a politician in a 90-minute TV debate, only Slogans, then that is atrocious.

Yes, we have too many politicians who say that everything is quite simple. The task of social democracy is to say: no, it is more difficult, it is more complicated.

You are not allowed to keep voters for fools, which you have under the warm bed covers. The social democracy has emerged out of education associations. As you said: The issue is complicated, we need to analyze and address together. Populist policies, however, is a Disempowerment of voters. There they say: You’re a Poor, I got your Problem now. But this is not the solution.

By leaving things in a state of Uncertainty. Characters are not simply good or evil, instead have all of the shades. We must take it that the facts are unclear.

Probably, it is more difficult to write an ambivalent, multi-layered Text that forces the reader to ask questions, as a unique that provides seemingly clear answers.

Yes, the Endure of confusion is not a free ticket for “anything goes”. There are opinions that are unacceptable and wrong. How the truth looks like, may be unclear, but there are very clear lies.

This is actually a Problem. But Yes you can tell stories that are factually well-founded – for that, I would argue. And I advocate for such old-fashioned things, such as for intellectual honesty: not lying to simply.

I take it with the facts, in fact, very serious. And I rings sometimes with me. In my novel, “power” about the title figure sits to the beginning of the 1980s in a debate of the German Bundestag. And there is power quotes the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with the phrase: “There’s no such thing as society.”

she said That indeed, but unfortunately only in 1987. This is the greatest freedom I have taken of me, by letting the force of the 1982 say. But it belly made me pain.

This is highly problematic. Holocaust deniers could take advantage of this and say, look, about the concentration camp, things are claimed, it has never been. In addition, it is also kind of cynical. The actual atrocities that were committed in Auschwitz on a daily basis, I do not need to overestimate a work of fiction.

Absolutely. Then, when one writes about such historical events as one is committed to the truth. Or to disclose the fiction as a literary medium. Then it is legitimate. Like for example Benigni “La vita è bella”.

no, although, of course, the authors want their stories in all eternity have validity.

Yes, Böll, one reads of historical interest in the post-war period – and also his permission Yes but. I read Böll still like.

Hopefully. It’s also for later generations of importance, that you take the time in words. All Holocaust literature is today, because the last time die off witnesses, is more important than ever. The literature now accepts this as a time witness and gets a new, haunting function.

no, and you should not think when you Write too much of it. Sometimes an old book from the current reasons, it is popular again. After Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, has become “1984” by George Orwell to the best – selling the reader had the feeling that this 70-year-old book to tell something about the language of Trumps.
