Schmidt goes Opera

Der britische Komponist Andi Spicer arbeitet an einer Oper zur Gelehrtenrepublik:

Returned after many years to a favourite writer of mine, Arno Schmidt. I first read his ‘Egghead Republic’ in my youth and am enjoying it very much after all these years. Its subtle humour and complex imagery make it a 20th Century milestone. He’s still a much underrated writer and almost unknown outside of German-speaking countries, despite fine translations of many of his works.
