I wrote myself crazy

"Die Welt according to to Welt" He was considered the German Lester Bangs, not only messed with Heinz-Rudolf Kunze, adored Buddy Holly and wrote himself crazy. Wolfgang Welt was a child of the Ruhr area, more precisely of the working-class district of Langendreer in Bochum. From the early eighties on, he wrote outrageously subjective record reviews in various city and music magazines, described the reality of life in the Pott unvarnishedly, dealt with literature and politics, and wrote a total of four radically autobiographical novels in which he spared neither himself nor others. Peter Handke is one of his fans, as is the Bochum writer Frank Goosen, who has read some of Wolfgang Welt's best texts for this audio book.
