Thirtieth Year by Ingeborg Bachmann

Thirtieth Year by Ingeborg Bachmann

This is collection of the stories written by a distinguished German author who died in 1973. Reading these stories entails abandoning the terms of one's own comfort. The author's relentless vision demands that readers allows themselves to be hypnotised, taken over by her repetitive cadences and burning images of grief and loss. And yet, in the beauty of her images there is a tremendous affirmation of the world.

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.
