Changed "murderous heat" in "Karl Kraus and language" to "murderous chase", since I believe the author of the article confused "Hetz" (hunt, chase) with "Hitz" (heat). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.233.45.8 (talk) 15:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
This has developed into a highly informative and reliable article on the great Austrian author. While KK's attitude towards psychoanalysis is given some prominence, other topics could still be added. Maybe I will try my hand at some point on one of the following: KK's relationship with the Austrian socialdemocrats; his reaction to the Dollfuß regime; Brecht's assessment of KK. Maybe someone could add the available English translations (of this difficult-to-translate work). Johannes Feest
I think any or all of the topics you mention would be useful. I've added the (pitifully few) English translations that have come my way. PhilipC 13:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Following a suggestion by Mauro, I've started to translate the German version of the article, incorporating what's already here. It will take some time for me to finish, but in the meantime it would be nice if someone is willing to go over the text and improve on my style (and grammar). In particular, a better translation for bis auf's Messer would be nice. I've taken the literal to the knife, but something that sounds more English while retaining the anachronisitic reference would be nice. Ansgaard 01:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More on Karl Kraus
I have a copy of Italic textYale Companion to Jewish Writing and Thought 1096-1996Italic textby Sandor l. Gilman and Jack Zipes. There is a nine-page article on KK entitled Italic textKarl Kraus writes "He's a Jew after all" one of the few texts in which he directly confronts his Jewish identity and suggests how it has affected his satirical writing.

[edit] some hint
Hello! In the article is said: When asked why he never said anything about Hitler, he reportedly answered: I cannot think of anything to say about Hitler. - This is common, but wrong. He did not publish about Hitler until october 1933 and then he wrote: Das Wort entschlief, als jene Welt erwachte. (The word died, when this world awoke.) - The quote I cannot think of anything to say about Hitler. is the first ironic sentence of his 1933 written book of 300 pages "Die dritte Walpurgisnacht" about the Hitler-barbarism. Actually this book wasn´t published in that times, because that would have meant danger to any involved person (f.e. the printer). - Yours sincerely --Logograph 01:55, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reasons for leaving the catholic church
In the article, it is written that Kraus "left the Catholic Church, because he disapproved of the revival of the Salzburg Festival." Are you sure that it is not a joke ? I am usually working on Kraus for the french language wikipedia, and I have found nothing about this in the bookks I've read.--Loudon dodd 02:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
