Almost 1 Book / Almost 1 Life (Dichten =)
ByPublisher Description
This Volume Contains Almost All Of Elfriede Czurda's First Book (with The Untranslatable Title Ein Griff = Eingriff Inbegriffen) And All Of Her Second, Fast 1 Leben. Czurda Comes Out Of The Wiener Gruppe's Experimental Tradition. She Is Especially Fond Of Letting Repetition And Permutation Shift Words Through Their Whole Gamut Of Meanings--and Sometimes Beyond. However, She Is Also Not Averse To Thumbing Her Nose At Any Rigidities, Even Those Of The Experimental Imperative. In Almost 1 Life (novella? Politico-cultural Satire?), The Ruling Avant-garde Has Licenced Monomania As Official Language And Punishes Misuse By Expelling The Offender--into Reality. Which Is Where Czurda Positions Herself. She Combines Exploring Language With Exploring The Social Power Structures Embedded In It--all With Lots Of Fun And Humor.--publisher Description. Elfriede Czurda ; Translated From The German By Rosmarie Waldrop. Poems. Originally Published As Ein Griff=eingriff Inbegriffen, Berlin: Rainer Verlag, 1978, And Fast 1 Leben: Ein Fragment, Vienna: Friebord, 1981--t.p. Verso.
