(235) The Shakespeare Authorship question decays in the riddle page of the Süddeutsche Zeitung ...

                        The riddle of the grain dealer William Shakespeare










The weekend-edition of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung"(Nov.29-2014), the largest German national daily newspaper regularly contains a "Riddle-Page" with picture-puzzles, Crossword-puzzles, Sudoku's, Chess puzzles, Word-text puzzles etc..

Mysteriously lately the page contained a literary article of Alexander Menden (s.also Blog 39) entitled

"Unveiling the Riddle - a fantastic author".

The reader may ask why the article of Alexander Menden found himself on the entertaining riddle page, similar to a recent Shakespeare Authorship article in the "Travel section" of the German National "Frankfurter Allgemeine" (FAZ of Roland Gerste          (s.Blog 140) -

                                                       =  (The riddle of the grain dealer William Shakespeare)

The German literary "Feuilleton" seems to have begun to dispose the vexed issues of the  Shakespeare Autorship problems on the landfill site of  their under-utilized "entertaining pages".  
                                         such as    the  Riddle  section  ...Travel section etc.)

                                     Shouldn't   they use also  the obituary page?
