Just a few months ago, the writer, who gained a reputation as a scandalous author with his story "Babyficker" in the early 1990s, was awarded the Erich Fried Prize. The award ceremony on November 30 in Vienna, which he would not have attended anyway due to his state of health, will now also be a memorial event.
