Buk-Symposium 2012 - Andernach

[Ponder]

our symposium in August - where, by the way, David will attend and speak!

Again?
I hope I can make it to the symposium, who are the other speakers?
Meanwhile David must be half German.

edit: His address is in German too?

Meanwhile David must be half German.

His wife is German.

Ponder: Were you at the symposium last year?

No, he was talking at the symposium in 2009 together with BlackSwan.
At that symposium David was also talking. And then there was a guy from Spain, you can find him here under the name cirerita.

I hope I can make it to the symposium, who are the other speakers?

Would be nice to see you there.
Among other speakers will be Dora, who was talking at the last symposium too and a dermatologist, Prof. Bahmer, talking about Bukowskis skin-deseases.

I hope to make the symposium too this year.

I will, I will!

In order to avoid hijacking the thread about David Calonnes upcoming Bukowski-book (https://bukowskiforum.com/index.php...ical-lives-by-david-calonne.7252/#post-123401) - may the mods please move the last couple of posts from there to here?
Thanks!

What goes on at the Bukowski symposium? I've never heard of it

 

[roni]

It's an event organized by the Bukowski-Society, usually around Buks birthday in his town of birth, Andernach (Germany).
There are addresses by Bukowski-experts or other people, who have something to say on the subject.

This year's program is still in the making, but there will be an address by David Calonne and one by a dermatologist about Buks skin-deseases. Also an address by a girl, who's working on her PhD about Bukowski at the moment - known here as 'Dora'. Other addresses and the usual Saturday-evening-event are not sure yet.

You can see a couple of pics from last year's symposium here:

Looks fun.... Sorry I'll miss it (tied up in Berlin - but not in a good way).
Viel Gluck!

[Dora]

I didn't know I was still young enough to be called a "girl" ;)

 

[Joseph K]

Depends on the age of who's doing the calling, Dora... ;)

Thanks, Roni!

Roni, any news on the German Bukowski symposium 2013?

 

[roni]

there was none this year.
it was intended to have this year's symposium during the Buk-Exhibition in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, which was supposed to take place this summer. Around November 2012 the people in SuRo informed us, they couldn't do the exhibition this year and I wasn't prepared for anything else.

The exhibition - together with the symposium - will take place in the summer of 2014.

It WILL be an event!

Someone's knee deep in Neitzsche. This thread is way too Weimar for me.
