Wien und Egon Schiele

In meinem neuen Buch, das ich heute Abend beginnen werde, geht es um das Leben von Egon Schiele in Romanform. Witzigerweise habe ich gerade gelesen, das Egon Schiele 1918 während der großen Grippe-Epidemie starb. Ich wußte zwar, das er an Grippe gestorben ist, aber das scheint die selbe Epidemie gewesen zu sein, in der Edward aus der Twilight-Saga fast gestorben wäre.

So sieht mein neues Buch aus:

Joanna Scott
Arrogance

Product Description: In Joanna Scott's breakthrough novel the Austrian artist Egon Schiele comes to prismatic life in a narrative that defies convention, history, and identity. A self-professed genius and student of August Klimt, Scott's Schiele repeatedly challenges the boundaries of early twentieth-century Europe. Thrown in jail on charges of immorality, Schiele's Mephistophelean reputation only grows in stature until at the age of twenty-eight, the artist dies in the Great Flu Pandemic. Told from a crosscurrent of voices, viewpoints and times, this stunning novel won Scott a nomination for the 1991 PEN/Faulkner Award.
