This year I’m celebrating WiT with a regional flair—for me August 2024 is ‘Austrian Women in Translation Month’. My works-in-progress are two novellas by the doyennes of contemporary Austrian literature—Ingeborg Bachmann’s The Honditsch Cross and Christine Lavant’s The Changeling—and two novels by writers who were deeply influenced by them—Maja Haderlap’s Shadow Women and Laura Freudenthaler’s Arson. Look for them in August next year . . . if not sooner!”
