'The Wall is a wonderful novel... It is as absorbing as Robinson Crusoe' --Doris Lessing
Marlen Haushofer is most famous for The Wall. She won numerous awards in her lifetime, including the Grand Austrian State Prize for literature. Although nearly forgotten after her death in 1970, she is now experiencing a revival, with a film of The Wall, Die Wand, receiving rave reviews at the BFI London Film Festival 2012.
