The article says he is probably the best-known contemporary German writer. Given the status and renown of Günter Grass and Christa Wolf, such a claims needs substantiation or at least a source. Kdammers ( talk) 05:02, 5 December 2012 (UTC) reply

I removed that today, along with a bunch of other loaded language. I have no idea who wrote that kind of stuff in the first place. This article needs some more quality sources. Hopefully I can find some. Icarus of old ( talk) 00:07, 3 April 2013 (UTC) reply
