Malina

Ingeborg Bachmann (1926–1973) is widely regarded as one of the greatest German-language writers of the twentieth century. Her poems, plays, stories, and only finished novel, Malina, have been championed by Paul Celan, Hannah Arendt, Günter Grass, Peter Handke, Thomas Bernhard, Christa Wolf, and Elfriede Jelinek. Philip Boehm is an American playwright, theater director, and the translator of numerous books, including Ingeborg Bachmann's Malina. Rachel Kushner is the bestselling author of The Flamethrowers, Telex from Cuba, The Mars Room, and, most recently, Creation Lake.
