Two outsiders drinking beer.
Thomas Brasch (1945-2001) was not only a writer but also a film director (Engel aus Eisen). Grown up in the German Democratic Republic he emigrated to West Berlin in 1976, because a book of him has been banned. But the authorities in West Germany didn't like what he was talking about either...
Last year a book of collected Brasch poems was published. Die nennen das Schrei. It's a brick of a book, more than thousand pages. Maybe I'll give it a try.
Would be interesting to know more about the encounter with Bukowski.
