Little Jack Unterweger grows up under the terror of his drunken and raving grandfather. His life is overshadowed by outsiderism, violence and prostitution. Jack tries to lead a decent life, but each time he is caught up by his past. "Purgatory" is the report of Jack Unterweger, who was sentenced to life in prison for murder.
"Wilhelm Hengstler's approach to the childhood and life of Jack Unterweger, briefly celebrated as a prison poet - by now it may again be celebrated as a discovery." CLAUS PHILIPP
