Austrian author Renate Welsh has published these and more than eighty other books for children, young adults, and also for adults. She has been recognized with numerous literary prizes and is perhaps most famous for her Das Vamperl [The Little Vampire], a series which began with the first book in 1981 and is still going strong today. Her little vampire is unique in that, unlike regular vampires, he does not drink blood. Rather, when he senses anger or rage, he arrives on scene to suck that anger from the character. Welsh’s focus on real human reactions to painful motivations and stressful situations includes creating empathy not only for the victim but also for the child perpetrator. Aimed at younger children, the Little Vampire easily removes the anger that would make small children uncomfortable. In her work aimed at older children, Welsh insists that her readers grapple with the causes of violence and bullying. In the two books Sonst bist du dran [Or else] and Wehr dich, wenn du dich traust [Defend yourself, if you dare] upon which this article will focus, as with many of her books, Renate Welsh does not shy away from a difficult subject—violence in the school—and in doing she confronts another taboo topic: the potential for violence within each of us. Sonst bist du dran begins as Michel witnesses a group of five or six bullies hold Arnold’s head in the toilet. The scene on the first page is described in detail, too much detail for some readers, according to blogs about Welsh’s work. Michel wants to tell the bullies to stop but he is unable to due to the spit that has gathered in his mouth. Unfortunately for Michel, he gets noticed and is threatened to keep silent. Although not involved in the bullying and threatened himself, Michel quickly finds fault in Arnold’s behavior. Rather than identify at all with the victim, he questions in his mind why he should speak if Arnold himself does not “yell, not cry, not pound on the door?” (7). Michel does not question that Valerie builds a wall of books, rulers and painting supplies between her and Arnold and moves as far away as possible, nor as the children tell the teacher “He stinks!” (11). Again Arnold says nothing and Michel continues to blame him for not standing up for himself. The bullying continues after class in the park. Once again Michel is a coincidental witness, and once again he is threatened to tell no one “You know, if you say a word, it will be your turn. Is that clear?”(18). Michel does as he is told and keeps quiet. The bullying of Arnold continues and one day Michel is forced to choose either to belong to the group of bullies or place himself on the ground beside Arnold. He chooses to belong. Once again his anger is directed at Arnold, rather than at the bullies: “Suddenly Michel had an incredible rage at Arnold. He didn’t [End Page 104] know why. … ‘Sure I want to belong’ said Michel. Arnold should not look at him that way. Dammit, he shouldn’t look at him that way!” (49). Michel is told to stuff grass in Arnold’s mouth. Arnold looks at Michel, and Michel feels his rage grow: “The look hit Michel somewhere deep inside, but suddenly he felt a monstrous rage” (53). Once again Michel does as he is told. When he is finally alone he stomps again and again on a snail until there is nothing left. It is much safer to be angry at a victim (Arnold) than at..." @default.
