deleted "Sources"

edit

There was a "Sources" section in the article, that also referenced a book about the author. Maybe someone is able to transform the deleted section into something more readable that can be added to the article?

Sources from which Kracht quotes or to which he directly alludes include the works of: Ernst Jünger, Stanisław Lem, Laurie Anderson, Hugo Pratt, Louis Aragon, Robert Musil, Dante Alighieri, Ray Bradbury, Thomas Pynchon, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, William S. Burroughs, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Joris-Karl Huysmans, Philip K. Dick, Joseph Conrad, Hergé, Herman Melville, Frantz Fanon, Georges Perec, Jack London, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Friedrich Glauser, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, George Orwell, Karl May, David Lynch, H.P. Lovecraft, Louis Geoffroy, Nicholas Roerich, Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski, Jules Verne, Bram Stoker and the computer game Iron Storm.[1]

The following is from the article on TS Eliot´s poem The Wasteland. Perhaps a similar wording might be found, though the beginning is pretty much the same as one can see.

Sources from which Eliot quotes or to which he alludes include the works of: Homer, Sophocles, Petronius, Virgil, Ovid, Saint Augustine of Hippo, Dante Alighieri, William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, Gérard de Nerval, Thomas Kyd, Geoffrey Chaucer, Thomas Middleton, John Webster, Joseph Conrad, John Milton, Andrew Marvell, Charles Baudelaire, Richard Wagner, Oliver Goldsmith, Hermann Hesse, Aldous Huxley, Paul Verlaine, Walt Whitman and Bram Stoker. Eliot also makes extensive use of Scriptural writings including the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, the Hindu Brihad-Aranyaka-Upanishad, and the Buddha's Fire Sermon, and of cultural and anthropological studies such as Sir James Frazer's The Golden Bough and Jessie Weston's From Ritual to Romance (particularly its study of the Wasteland motif in Celtic mythology). Eliot writes in the head note that "Not only the title, but the plan and a good deal of the incidental symbolism of the poem were suggested by Miss Jessie L Weston."[H] The symbols Eliot employed, in addition to the Wasteland, include The Fisher King, the Tarot Deck, the Perilous Chapel, and the Grail Quest. However, thirty years later Eliot re-canted in his regret "having sent so many enquirers off on a wild goose chase."[20]
