Ratzinger to go: About the papal book by Markus Lanz and Manfred Lütz – culture

In 1979, when Arno Schmidt died, Oswald Wiener, one of the few real geniuses that the past century has produced, gave his silly book the silly title “We also want to benefit from the Arno Schmidt Year”. Markus Lanz and Manfred Lütz also want to benefit, their new book brings “on the occasion of the death of Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVI.” a last conversation – more precisely: “Our last conversation” (Kösel Verlag). The Pope hasn’t even been canonized yetso he already gets a book next to the Rewe cash register.
