Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

These wonderfully faithful translations catch both the freedom and poignancy of S. Corinna Bille's most hauntingly beautiful short stories. They show why this grande dame of French Swiss literature is still considered today its most daring, original, and rebellious writer. They are essential for anyone interested in women's studies and Francophone literature; above all, they make for wonderful reading. -- Denise Rochat, Smith College This introduction to the leading French Swiss woman writer is long overdue. Mackward and Giacoppe have effectively translated an appealing selection of short fiction by this proto-feminist. Their subtle scholarly apparatus is an added boon for students of women's writing. -- Marilyn Gaddis Rose, Binghamton University

Reseña del editor:

Stephanie Corinna Bille, a Swiss short-story writer, playwright, poet, and novelist and winner of the 1975 French Prix Concourt, is often considered the major contemporary Franco-Swiss woman writer. In The Transparent Girl and Other Stories Monika Giacoppe and Christiane Makward have assembled and translated a magnificent collection of Bille's work that exposes an English-speaking audience-many for the first time-to Bille's exotic, captivating, mystical, and sexually provocative stories.
