[de] Andreas Okopenko

Andreas Okopenko (* 15. März 1930 in Košice (Tschechoslowakei); † 27. Juni 2010 in Wien) war ein österreichischer Schriftsteller und gilt als einer der wichtigsten Repräsentanten der Gegenwartsliteratur in Österreich.[1] Zusammen mit Friederike Mayröcker und Ernst Jandl war Okopenko zudem ein wichtiger Wegbegleiter der Wiener Gruppe[2], ohne jedoch direkt zu ihr gezählt werden zu können, wie auch nicht zur konkreten Poesie.[3] Im Jahre 1970 stellte er noch vor der Entstehung des Internet mit seinem Lexikon-Roman den ersten Hypertext in Buchform vor[4] und gilt daher als literarischer Vorreiter des Hypertextes.[5]
