ALL IN GERMAN!
Broschur, mit Abb., 272 Seiten.
Hildegard Knef was undoubtedly the last German artist to truly and deservedly bear the honorary title of diva, entirely without irony. Her films and books, along with her chansons, bear eloquent witness to this. No one else sang about herself and the old Federal Republic of Germany—a country particularly stuffy and repressive for self-determined women—with such intelligence, such poetry, and yet such coolness and precision. For the first time, the book "Ich möchte am Montag mal Sonntag haben" (I'd Like to Have Sunday on Monday) documents 100 of these lyrics and gathers commentaries, stories, and reflections on them from contemporary artists. Alongside Sebastian Krumbiegel (Die Prinzen), Mieze Katz (MiA.), Pe Werner, and Bernd Begemann, artists including Bernadette La Hengst (Die Braut haut ins Auge), Markus Berges (Erdmöbel), Stoppok, Francesco Wilking (Die Höchste Eisenbahn), Kai Havaii (Extrabreit), and Tex Rubinowitz pay tribute to Hildegard Knef with their very personal liner notes.
