Synopsis

The 13 essays of this collection comment on the works of the Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann (d.1973). First conceived at a symposium held in 1996 at the State U. of New York in Binghampton (where Brinker-Gabler teaches comparative literature) in honor of what would have been Bachmann's 70th birthday, the collection features the scholarship of 15 academics who teach mainly in the US; three are in Austria and Germany. Topics include her essay on Wittgenstein; a comparative reading with a poem by Apollinaire; a critique of the film version of Malina; and essays on gender, women and writing, and politics, as these are represented in her novels and poetry.
