Many of their relatives were deported and murdered. Those losses make themselves felt throughout Aichinger’s writing, which since her first and only novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Greater Hope\u003c\/em\u003e, in 1948, has highlighted displacement, estrangement, and a sharp skepticism toward language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1976, when she published \u003cem\u003eBad Words\u003c\/em\u003e in German, her writing had become powerfully poetic, dense, and experimental. This volume presents the whole of the original \u003cem\u003eBad Words\u003c\/em\u003e in English for the first time, along with a selection of Aichinger’s other short stories of the period; together, they demonstrate her courageous effort to create and deploy a language unmarred by misleading certainties, preconceived rules, or implicit ideologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853218337004,"sku":"9781803090467","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/27004763482829.jpg?v=1759192402"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/christian-hawkey.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
