Watten

The Aesthetics of Repetition: The "exaggeration artist" Thomas Bernhard tells of a doctor who no longer wants to play cards. "It's pointless to try to persuade me. I tell the coachman: I'm not going to play Watten anymore, it's impossible. But he acts as if I haven't said anything. It's about time to play Watten again, he says." This edition of Watten is part of the Suhrkamp Letterpress series, created in collaboration with typographer Erik Spiekermann and Süpergrüp, a group of seven outstanding German designers - alongside Erik Spiekermann, Mirko Borsche, Johannes Erler, Lars Harmsen, Sarah Illenberger, Eike König, and Mario Lombardo - featuring seven exceptional works from the 20th century, all published by Suhrkamp Verlag, redesigned, typeset, and printed using digitally exposed plates on an original Heidelberg press.
