Der gescheiterte Schriftsteller
Rudolf Augstein


VON MARCEL REICH-RANICKI Im Januar 1947 erschien die erste Nummer des von Rudolf Augstein herausgegebenen und redigierten SPIEGEL. Im November 1947 konnte man in diesem SPIEGEL eine Theaterkritik lesen, der ich historische, der ich höchste Bedeutung beimesse. Es ging um die Uraufführung des Dramas "Die Zeit ist nahe ..." in Hannover. Das offenbar in der Renaissance spielende "szenische Gleichnis" sei, schreibt der Rezensent, missraten. Er verspottet es - nicht ohne Witz und Humor, und er teilt den Lesern am Ende entsetzt mit, der Autor drohe "kühnerweise" mit einem neuen Stück.

Brimming with anti-American feelings and riled by a tough new U.N. resolution to disarm Iraq, young and old activists from as far afield as Russia and Portugal joined forces for the carnival-like rally, singing Communist anthems and 1970s peace songs.
