Norbert Conrad Kaser dating history

Details

Norbert Conrad Kaser (19 April 1947 – 21 August 1978) was a writer and poet from the ethnically conflicted South Tyrol / Alto Adige region of north-eastern (since 1918) Italy. His literary works and polemical writings contributed significantly to the establishment of a new South Tyrolean literature during the later 1960s. Much of his work was published only after his death at the early age of 31. Kaser was politically engaged: while many of his attitudes defy easy pigeon-holing, he was born into the region's German-speaking community, and in most respects he comes across as part of the political-intellectual left. Outside Italy, Kaser's work has become better known across the German speaking world only posthumously.
