In 1988, 35 years ago, his Ovid novel “The Last World” was published. Since then, Christoph Ransmayr has been writing along the thin line between reality and myth. In addition to his great novels, he has exhausted the various forms of storytelling: In a total of twelve volumes, “Tiraden”, “Verhöre” and “Fotogeschichten” have appeared, and finally a volume with ballads and poems entitled “Unter Einem “sugar heaven”. The book was illustrated by Anselm Kiefer, with whom Ransmayr has been friends for decades. In conversation with Wolfgang Popp, Christoph Ransmayr thinks regarding the limits of language, talks regarding a visit to Anselm Kiefer’s factory that has been converted into a studio complex and remembers his friend Hans Magnus Enzensberger, who died last year.
