!!!Fritsch, Gerhard

b. Vienna, March 28, 1924, 
d. Vienna, March 22, 1969 (committed suicide), narrative writer, 
poet, librarian, publisher of the literary magazines "Literatur und 
Kritik" and "protokolle" and of the anthologies "Frage und Formel" 
(1963) and "Aufforderung zum Misstrauen" (1967). F. saw social 
criticism as criticism of language, and the subject-matter of his 
novels oscillates between despair and consolation. In his novel "Moos 
auf den Steinen" (1956) he opposes the revival of the myth surrounding 
the Habsburgs.
