Work

Wühr, which began in his youth with the letter, since the late 1940s, working on an extensive work that made ​​it such an experimental author of contemporary German literature. After two children's book publications in the early 1960, he arrived with radio plays for the WDR for the first time to a wider public. Wühr is the author of novels, radio plays, and poetry Prosapoemen, the boundaries between genres, given the often collage-like technique of the author are fluid. While Wühr in the 1970s caused a stir with its original sound radio plays, he then wrote mainly to continue sprachreflexiven and experimental Großpoemen and cycles of poems.

Despite the recognition by the literary criticism and numerous awards, Wühr is still considered to be one of the great maverick of German literature, the literary world largely rejects.
