Heinz Ludwig Arnold, born in 1940, freelance publisher in Göttingen, editor of TEXT + KRITIK, KLG and KLfG, is a honorary professor at the University of Göttingen. H. L. Arnold's interest in FD goes back to 1975. Since then, he has, on more than one occasion, held discussions with him that lasted several days. In addition, he has been his editor and friend for many years. His anthology ›German Literature 1945–1960‹ published by dtv in 1995 was hailed by the press as »a rare show of strength« (Frankfurter Rundschau): »The ›Arnold‹ – only just published and already a standard work? Who has collected so many laurels is no other than Göttingen-based jack of all trades Heinz Ludwig Arnold.« (Rheinischer Merkur)
