Squandered Advice by Ilse Aichinger & Steph Morris
EN NWISBN: 9780857429780 bzw. 0857429787, in Englisch, neu.
Lieferung aus: Australien, Lagernd.
The first English translation of a major work of postwar German poetry. Austrian writer Ilse Aichinger (19212016) was a member of the Gruppe 47 writers group, which sought to renew German-language literature after World War II. From a wide-ranging literary career that encompassed all genres, Squandered Advice was Aichingers sole poetry collection. The book gathers poems written over several decades, yet Aichingers poetic voice remains remarkably consistent, frequently addressing us or a third party, often in the imperative, with many poems written in the form of a question. Even though they use free verse throughout, the poems are still tightly structured, often around sounds or repetition, using spare language. Phrases are often fragmentary, torn off, and juxtaposed as if in a collage. Isolated and haunting, the images are at times everyday, at other times surreal, suggesting dreams or memories.

Bad Words

Lieferung aus: Vereinigtes Königreich Großbritannien und Nordirland, in-stock.
I now no longer use the better words. Ilse Aichinger (1921 2016) was one of the most important writers of postwar Austrian and German literature. Born in 1921 to a Jewish mother, she survived World War II in Vienna, while her twin sister Helga escaped with one of the last Kindertransporte to England in 1938. Many of their relatives were deported and murdered. Those losses make themselves felt throughout Aichinger s writing, which since her first and only novel, The Greater Hope, in 1948, has highlighted displacement, estrangement, and a sharp skepticism toward language. By 1976, when she published Bad Words in German, her writing had become powerfully poetic, dense, and experimental. This volume presents the whole of the original Bad Words in English for the first time, along with a selection of Aichinger s other short stories of the period; together, they demonstrate her courageous effort to create and deploy a language unmarred by misleading certainties, preconceived rules, or implicit ideologies. In the following decades Aichinger s work became increasingly dense, poetic, and experimential, culminating in the iconic Schlechte Wörter (Bad Words) in 1976. This entire volume, along with a selection of short stories from previous books in this period, is presented here for the first time in English translation. Any false promise of a coherent, masterful world (with its insistence of better words ) is left behind. Instead, we have bad words minor everyday objects and the freedom that comes with vigilant and playful disobedience.
