Anmeldelser
«Just now I want to tell everyone about Irmgard Keun ... A great writer»
Ali Smith
«The Artificial Silk Girl follows Doris into the underbelly of a city that had once seemed all glamour and promise ... Kathie von Ankum's English translation will bring this masterwork to the foreground once more, giving a new generation the chance to discover Keun for themselves»
Elle
«Damned by the Nazis, hailed by the feminists ... a truly charming window into a young woman's life in the early 1930s»
Los Angeles Times
«Keun has few rivals - I can think of none - as a chronicler of the ambience or the consequences of the rise of Nazism»
Michael Hofmann
«A young girl navigates interwar German society and the expectations - or lack thereof - placed upon women, in this poignant, melancholy novel ... This heartbreaking story of dashed hopes is one that still has the power to affect and inspire»
