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.
