school), Merz has worked in adult education. He has won several prices, e.g. the famous <a href="/wiki/Calw_Hermann_Hesse_Prize" title="Calw Hermann Hesse Prize">Hermann Hesse Prize</a> for Literature in 1997, the „Gottfried Keller-Preis“ in 2004 and the „Werkpreis der schweizerischen Schillerstiftung“ in 2005. </p><p>He wrote a lot of narrations and stories, e.g. „Adams Kostüm“ or the short novel „Jakob schläft“. Merz has also made <a href="/wiki/Poems" class="mw-redirect" title="Poems">poems</a> („Kurze Durchsage“) – his works are rather short. But the titles already show Merz’s special ability: He manages it, to place two or three banal words, one next to the other, and it starts “buzzing” amongst them. </p><p>Today, Merz lives in <a href="/wiki/Unterkulm" title="Unterkulm">Unterkulm</a> as a narrator and lyric poet. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Selected_bibliography">Selected bibliography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Klaus_Merz&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Selected bibliography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><i>Mit gesammelter Blindheit</i>.
