Gerhard^Roth (this Austrian author) Gerhard^^Roth (German Neurobiologist) Gerhard^^^Roth (German travel guide books) Gerhard Roth is perhaps the most important writer to emerge from that “hot-bed of geniuses,” the Forum Stadtpark, which has radically influenced German letters in the last two decades. His broad range of works, from experimental novels to plays and a children’s book, has earned him a number of major prizes, and several of his books have been filmed. An uncomfortable writer whose work revolves around extreme mental states and behaviour.
