Konrad Bayer Book order

December 17, 1932 – October 10, 1964

Konrad Bayer was an Austrian writer and poet known for his experimental approach to language and literature. A member of the Vienna Group, he masterfully combined seemingly irreconcilable elements such as violence, pessimism, ecstasy, and banality. His work, influenced by Dadaism, Surrealism, and Pataphysics, is characterized by a bizarre linguistic solipsism. Bayer's writings continue to fascinate contemporary authors and readers with their unique and provocative style.

"One of the finest flowerings of this impassioned quest is the sixth sense, the novel Bayer had all but finished at the time of his suicide. In it he creates a metaphysical theatre of the word that wryly undermines the very language from which it is constructed. Time and identity are turned inside out in a series of elaborately interwoven episodes set against a backdrop of riots and cataclysms, labyrinths of stone or throbbing meat, and bucolic scenes populated by toyland figures… and not forgetting the inevitable bars of Vienna."
