Frank Meyrink


Frank Meyrink is the author's pseudonym of the death book Gottlieb's death book published in the Private-Domain series in 1997. According to the back cover of the book, Meyrink would be born in 1964, and he was a theater scientist and translator German and Middle German (knight romans). But soon it became clear that it was a fake author and that it was a fictional diary. Private domain final editor Martin Ros stated in 2006 that the book was written by a simple student from Nijmegen, 'with a worn briefcase', Goethe's idol. In 2012, Frank Meyrink became known as the pseudonym of writer Leonard Beuger.

Gottlieb's death can be seen as a press release on Johann Peter Eckermanns Conversations with Goethe (1836). In journal form, reports are made of fictional conversations the author has with his equally fictional teacher Johann Gottlieb Freudenacker (1915-1992), a pedagogue, cultural philosopher, architect, poet, director and especially founder of the New School. After appearing, the book received many good reviews, initially not always clear - and whether it was a fake author.
