Description

A timely exploration of Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann by Bookershortlisted author Tom McCarthy. Since her untimely death in 1973, Ingeborg Bachmann has come to be regarded as one of the twentieth centurys most important writers. Unpacking a single Bachmann poem, novelist Tom McCarthy latches onto two of its central terms the eponymousthresholdandledger and takes off on a line of flight through the work of Franz Kafka, David Lynch, Anne Carson, Sappho and Shakespeare. Can writing be understood as an experience of the threshold, a limit or boundary state? A condition of ecstasy orecstasis, standing outside of oneself?With identity ruptured and surpassed, how and by whom might such experience be recorded?Appearing on the eve of Bachmanns centenary year, McCarthys bookargues for the centrality of her vision to the very act of literature itself. Ingeborg Bachmann(25 June 1926 17 October 1973) was an Austrian poet and author. She is regarded as one of the major voices ofGermanlanguage literature in the 20th century. In 1963, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
