Dear Christian, Czernowitzers...
Christian is completely right concerning the obituary released by Ken Kubota at Edgar Hilsenrath's website and MY APOLOGIES for directing unverified your attention to it by my preliminary posting. As a matter of fact it's even more than a SHAME! Ken Kubota is flagrantly instrumentalizing Edgar Hilsenrath's passing away for his own purposes. He is fighting a dishonorable fight against Edgar Hilsenrath's former editors / biographers Helmut Braun and Volker Dittrich. I'm pretty sure that Ken Kubota's offending statements will lead to lawsuits and it will be hard for him to give evidence of his allegations.
Spending our tribute to Edgar Hilsenrath and his oeuvre, let us leave this smear campaign and let us give Edgar Hilsenrath the chance to speak by himself - not filtered and/or censored by self-proclaimed "well-meaning" friends:

May his memory be a blessing and let us honor Edgar Hilsenrath by reading and recommending his books!
Edgar Hauster

Subject: Aw: [Cz-L] Edgar Hilsenrath Passed Away
Dear Edgar, dear all,
Yes, the passing away of Edgar Hilsenrath is a sad news at the end of the year. A giant left us. Unfortunately, the obituary by his present publisher is a shame - unworthy of the deceased. To a big extent it consists of descriptions of litigations, conspiracy theories and bizarre political opinions - all of them have nothing to do with Hilsenrath's brilliant novels and his meaningful legacy. As Edgar said, may Edgar Hilsenrath's memory be a blessing! And if you didn't read his books yet, do it now!
Warm wishes and a blessed 2019 to all of you!
Christian
