Max Weber famously described politics as a strong, slow drilling through hard boards with both passion and judgment. Taking this as his inspiration, AlexanderKluge brings readers yet another literary masterpiece. Drilling through Hard Boards is a kaleidoscopic meditation on the tools available to those who struggle for power. Weber s metaphorical drill certainly embodies intelligent tenacity as a precondition for political change. But what is a hammer in the business of politics, Kluge wonders, and what is a subtle touch? Eventually, we learn that all questions of politics lead to a single one: what is political in the first place.

About the author

Alexander Kluge, geboren 1932 in Halberstadt, studierte in Marburg und Frankfurt/Main Rechtswissenschaften, Geschichte und Kirchenmusik. Nach seiner Zulassung als Rechtsanwalt absolvierte er ein Volontariat bei dem Filmregisseur Fritz Lang und betätigte sich mit Erfolg als Filmemacher und literarischer Autor. Er erhielt zahlreiche Preise. So wurde Alexander Kluge 2003 der "Georg-Büchner-Preis" verliehen und 2014 der "Heine-Preis" der Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf. "... Als wichtiger Vertreter der kritischen Theorie knüpft er an das poetische, publizistische und politische Schaffen Heinrich Heines an", so die Jury.
