I’m reading a book by Daniel de Roulet. Ein Sonntag in den Bergen. It’s a great book. On page 63, the protagonist is referred to as a “Textualtäter”. (I don’t know the English translation but it might be “textual offender”.)
“Textualtäter” describes somebody who accomplishes an action only because of his passion for writing communiques.
Given our daily writing here, a very interesting term…
Maybe you’ve already read this book but never heard a reading of it. Daniel de Roulet could read from his novel only twice in public. In Tehran and New York.
You can listen to the New York reading, followed by a discussion, here
