Konrad Bayer
Austrian writer and poet (1932-1964) · Austria · On the map · Writers · Died at 31
Konrad Bayer was an Austrian writer and poet. A member of the Wiener Gruppe, he combined apparently irreconcilable elements - violence, hermeticism, pessimism, ecstasy, banality - and influences - into a bizarre linguistic solipsism which has held increasing fascination for German writers of the last few decades.
Konrad Bayer is read about 17 times a day, in 15 languages.
