The Austrian writer Florian Neuner, as the late literary critic Michael Braun once put it, consistently writes once morest all well-behaved linear concepts of contemporary storytelling and stubbornly tries to develop an antidote to narrative clichés. One can also say that in the tradition of the avant-garde and the language-critical literature that emerged from it, Florian Neuner has created a versatile, if not easily catchy work – if one wants to accept “catchy” as an aesthetic category at all. Part of this concept of literature is also the movement across genre boundaries, which is why many of Neuner’s texts can be regarded as narrative essays or essayistic narratives. Finally the great USA text “Rust. A Psychogeographical Expedition”.
Florian Neuner’s new book is called “For Another Literature” and contains reviews and essays in which he uses his work with copywriters from other authors to make it clear what literature, including and above all his own, is regarding.
