In 1996, BBC Radio aired a speculative account, written by John Banville, the encounter between Paul Celan, who was kept during the war in a Romanian internment camp, and Martin Heidegger, the philosopher and avowed Nazi. For 100 euro, you could get your mitts of Conversation in the Mountains, a limited edition of the play with illustrative paintings by Donald Teskey.
There are just 350 copies for sale, and much as I'm tempted, I haven't really got 100 euro to throw around at the minute. I can't find the BBC recording available anywhere online. Hopefully, The Gallery Press will put out a less expensive edition of the play, as it has done with Long Lankin, Nightspawn and Banville's three versions of Kleist plays.
The Elegant Variation has more, including a short interview with John Banville himself.
