Als ich 1997 zum Kulturradio stiess, war dieses gerade dabei, seine grösste Hörspielproduktion aller Zeiten zu planen: Mario Vargas Llosas „Tante Julia und der Kunstschreiber“. Der Cast war so gross, dass der Regie führende Kollege Claude Pierre Salmony in den Redaktionsstuben nach Laiendarstellerinnen suchen musste. Die alte CD-Box mit ihren zehn über einstündigen Folgen ist mir heute noch heilig. #rip #mariovargasllosa #srfkultur
