Czech writer?[edit]

Don’t call an old Austrian, ethnic German, a "Czech writer" please. He was born in Mährisch Ostrau, then predominantly German, already Ostrava for the Czechs there, before the wars messed up everything and brought hatred without end – today only Ostrava, as the Germans – not only the Jews – were "ethically cleaned out". Just write: writer, delete Czech.
 Incidentally: The page is correct, albeit a bit short, the German version better, finest is his defunct daughter’s page, blessed be her soul. — Fritz Jörn (talk) 03:33, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
