Freitagsgschmarri

5,500 minutes of airtime over 35 years: Klaus Schamberger's radio columns are a cultural phenomenon. Until December 29, 2017, he delighted his large loyal audience once a week with his "Gschmarri zum Wochenende." Now, his uniquely dialectal radio columns are finally available in book form – for reading and reading aloud, "for example at 150th birthdays, at Christmas, at regulars' tables, or during coffee breaks," as the author himself puts it. Mischievous, funny, melancholic, thought-provoking, or whimsical, ranging from Söderla to historical and contemporary crusades, to the Glubb and even Färdd: another testament to his unparalleled mastery in describing "what life presents to the Franconian and what the Franconian presents to life."
