More than 20 authors participate in the project from their home exile. Most of them should have been guests with readings from their work at the <i>Literaturhaus Graz <\/i>spring program. These include Valerie Fritsch, Kathrin R\u00f6ggla or Daniel Wisser, but also Birgit Birnbacher or Thomas Stangl.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started this project because we think that we are in need of the reflective power of literature to deal with this crisis. Internally, socially and itellectually,\u201d says Klaus Kastberger, head of the <i>Literaturhaus Graz. <\/i>\u201cWe are on a good advise not to see the Corona period as an interruption of life, but as an essential part of it.\u201d Because this time is accompanied by many small impercep- tible changes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThe tone changes rapidly, instructions are given to the staff, orders, they have to be implemented immediately, remove all pictures, stow away the books in the corridor, everything that cannot be disinfected shall be replaced to the basement immediately, from now on these rooms are used as an isolation station for infected people, yesss. We try to get used to it, no discussions, steep hi- erarchies, no decision trees, constantly washing and disinfecting hands, wearing masks, security checks at the entrance. And then the question: Do we get used to it in a way that we can\u2019t imagine it any other way afterwards?\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>noted Melitta Breznik on March 27th in her Corona-diary entry. The crisis also shows us the paralysis of a society trimmed for self-optimization and self-fulfillment. Valerie Fritsch writes on March 29th:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cCatharsis fantasies are emerging everywhere, people want to purify themselves and make the best of everything. One might think that some people would not be able to clean up the apartment, clean the bathroom, cook Kaiserschmarrn without an unprecedented crisis. Those who can afford to think about themselves, experience the awakening of the self, as if it would require a higher power to make you think about your own desires and limits.\u201c<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Klaus Kastberger is aware of the economic challenges of many authors in these days. For many, reading fees are an essential part of their basic income, which they now lose for months due to the Corona crisis. The Corona-diaries project of the Literaturhaus Graz should therefore provide at least some compensation. \u201cBy doing this project, we also have the opportunity to immediately pay authors fees. The authors deliver a text once a week and are honored accordingly by the Literaturhaus Graz\u201d, says Kastberger. Thomas Stangl sent the following text on March 13th:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cIdeas to do something good: order books in bulk from small bookstores, tip the cashiers in the supermarket, etc. Even the ideas of doing good are limited.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>It seems as if the state is far ahead of the capacities for imagination of its citizens at the moment. Robert Pfaller noted on March 17th:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cIt\u2019s refreshing to see that the state can act if he wants to! We weren\u2019t used to that in the past decades. \u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>In order to further expand his capacity to act, the state even wants to use tracking apps. But despite their permanent online connection, IT programs do not even master the simplest problems, as Daniel Wisser noted on March 26th:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThe automatic spell check underlines the ex- pression \u201ctoilet paper shortage\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Content only available in german language.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Literaturhaus Graz \u2013 Corona-diaries:<br \/>\n<\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.literaturhaus-graz.at\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.literaturhaus-graz.at<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Online Guide for smalle bookshops: <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeaustria.at\/onlinebuchhand lungengraz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\">www.creativeaustria.at\/onlinebuchhandlungengraz<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><br \/>\n<\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Corona Diaries in the Literaturhaus Graz.\u00a0 The Literaturhaus Graz publishes every Friday a new edition of it \u0301s \u201cCorona Diaries\u201d.
