To Klaus Wagenbach’t think of me so much, except that he’s a real small publisher, but a genius who has performed in all political and economic Storms of the last few decades, with a courage and a perseverance that are quite unique.
I’ve known him since the fifties, and if we had a fight with each other, it was a civil matter. To came-of-court disputes between us, never. The “price-to-book” delivery for a time under his flag; he didn’t like this at all, he immediately started his own competing company, with all sorts of onion, fish and pirate pieces: the “privateers”, which, however, only short-lived. The pad was too small for all the vivacity.
car Bach’s sense of Humor has really surprised us all. He was so inappropriate as he is, neither of the Berlin Left like the socialites of the time. He has irritated many times, but always exhilarated with his chariot as a Symbol. With the neighbouring state of the GDR, he has set up, due to Biermann, in the nettles, to the house ban.
