Ror Wolf

Ror Wolf nació en Saalfeld, Alemania, en 1932 y en la actualidad vive en Mainz. Wolf quizá sea uno de los escritores más interesantes de Alemania hoy en día. Fue bien recibido por la crítica desde su debut con Fortsetzung des Berichts, en 1964, y desde entonces ha recibido importantes premios literarios; recientemente el Kassel Literary Prize, por humor grotesco, otorgado por la Fundación Brückner-Külner, y el premio Friedrich Hölderin en reconocimiento a sus contribuciones a la lengua alemana y a la literatura. Su estilo tiene las características de un collage, uniendo piezas dispares; técnica que también usa para crear collage artístico. Wolf es conocido también por su pseudónimo, Raoul Tranchirer, que utilizó para un proyecto enciclopédico, que sirve de parodia a las enciclopedias tradicionales del siglo diecinueve.

Ror Wolf

Ror Wolf was born in Saalfeld, Germany, in 1932 and now lives in Mainz. He is probably one of the most interesting writers in Germany. He has been well received by critics since his debut with Fortsetzung des Berichts, in 1964. Ever since he has been awarded important literary prizes; most recently the Kassel Literary Prize for grotesque humor, given by the Brückner-Kühner Foundation and the Friedrich Hölderlin Award in recognition of his contribution to German language and literature. His writing style resembles that of a collage, joining disparate pieces together, a technique he also uses for creating picture collages. He has used the pseudonym Raoul Tranchirer for his encyclopedic project, which parodies the traditional encyclopedias of the nineteenth century.

Dave Castles

David (Dave) Castles nació en Riverhead, Nueva York, en 1957, y se crió en Alemania y en California; en la actualidad reside en Carlisle, PA. Ha dibujado durante la mayor parte de su vida, y en los pasados treinta años ha creado más de dos mil grabados, algunos de los cuales se editan en esta revista por primera vez. Dave Castles fue diagnosticado con esquizofrenia en 1977, mientras servía en la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos, lo cual él considera tanto 'una bendición como una maldición'. Sus grabados son lo que él llama las traducciones al papel de las 'visiones' que tiene durante sus episodios esquizofrénicos.

Dave Castles

David (Dave) Castles was born in Riverhead, New York in 1957 and grew up mainly in Germany and California; currently he lives in Carlisle, PA. He has been drawing for most of his life, and in the past thirty years he has created more than two thousand pieces, some of which are printed in this journal for the first time. Dave Castles was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1977 while serving in the US Air Force. As he says, 'this has been a blessing and a curse '. His drawings are what he calls the translation in paper of his 'visions' during his schizophrenic episodes.
