The Last Living Words by Ingeborg Bachmann

The Last Living Words consists of works of poetry and fiction published during the life of the great Austrian writer. Brilliantly translated by Lilian Friedberg (winner of the Kayden Translation Award) presents a new perspective on this important, internationally renowned figure. Friedberg's Bachmann is no longer the frail and tortured writer presented in so many previous translations, but she stands as a woman and writer.

Bachman (1926-1973) was a near-legendary character in Austrian literature throughout the twentieth century. She had a romantic relationship with Swiss novelist Max Frisch. She was seriously burned when she fell asleep smoking a cigarette in bed in 1973, and she died three weeks later. For the Bachmann book, he received the Kayden National Translation Prize.
