The latter certainly applies to a work such as \"Brueder (Kain + Abel)\" from 1983, but no longer in such ­exclusivity to his most recent works. Here, the bitter singing of NO-FUTURE by the protagonists of the 1980s is accompanied by a good portion of ironic melancholy and caustic mockery. His use of color has also changed--the earthy tones giving way to a certain signal-like quality, yet without severing the connection to his earlier works. But what led to such a melancholy softening of his worldview? Is it a general consequence of getting older? Or is it based on the more specific consciousness of now actually being too old for the Not-wanting-to-become-like-the-old-folk (in the 1980s)? Or does everything have its rather simple reason in the realization: Alcohol (dis-)solves everything--or is it self-knowledge which outshines everything, but still can hardly prevent that madness and confusion that continues to play their game with us?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zdenek Felix,Kristian Vistrup Madsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3864423287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783864423284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snoeck Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 7.70w x 0.20d","brand":"Zdenek Felix","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874280878335,"sku":"9783864423284","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/werner-buettner-zdenek-felix-9783864423284","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
