Væggen
En kvinde er på ferie i en jagthytte i bjergene, da hun på en morgentur banker panden mod noget hårdt og køligt. En glasvæg afskærer hende fra omverdenen, og på den anden side er alt liv stivnet. Nu begynder en ensom kamp for overlevelse. Med en hund, en kat og en ko som eneste selskab må hun lære sig at dyrke jorden, malke, høste og tilpasse sig skovens rytme, og for ikke at miste forstanden begynder hun at skrive sin beretning ned – mens tændstikkerne langsomt slipper op. VÆGGEN er en foruroligende og intens robinsonade, en grusom drøm om menneske og arbejde, natur og civilisation. MARLEN HAUSHOFER (1920-1970) var sammen med Ingeborg Bachmann blandt de mest betydningsfulde tysksprogede forfattere i det 20. århundrede. Væggen udkom i 1963 og har i dag fået status som moderne klassiker. Efterord af Rakel Haslund-Gjerrild, forfatter til romanen Alle himlens fugle (2020) om det sidste menneske på jorden. Genudgivelse i Gyldendals Skala-serie for genopdagede mesterværker fra det 20.

Vi dræber Stella
Kortromanen Vi dræber Stella af den østrigske forfatter Marlen Haushofer (1920-1970) udgives for første gang på dansk: I 1950’ernes Østrig gør Anna alt for at opretholde familielivets pæne facade. Hun holder et nydeligt hjem, er mor til to og gift med Richard, der til gengæld ikke gør det mindste for at skjule sine mange affærer. Det er Anna vant til. Da den 19-årige Stella flytter ind hos familien og skal bo hos dem det næste skoleår, sættes et farligt spil i gang. Anna sørger for tøj og sko til Stella og forvandler pigen fra landet til en smuk ung kvinde, og der går ikke længe, før Richard får øjnene op for hendes skønhed. Affæren er forudsigelig, men den får fatale konsekvenser, og Anna længes tilbage til en normal hverdag – for kan man vænne sig til alt? Vi dræber Stella er en fortættet fortælling om skyld, medskyld og forræderiets mange ansigter. Andrea Fehlauer har oversat romanen fra tysk, og bogen er med forord af teaterchef og instruktør samt forfatter Liv Helm. Vi dræber

Killing Stella
Main description: Left alone for the weekend while her husband and two children are visiting her in-laws, the narrator of KILLING STELLA recounts the addition of her friend's daughter, Stella, into their already tense and tumultuous household. Staring out the window at her garden, she worries about the baby bird in the linden tree, about her husband, Richard, who flits from one adulterous affair to another, about her son's gloomy demeanor and her daughter's obliviousness to everything, and, most of all, she worries about Stella, a confused teenager who has just met a sudden and disastrous end. A domestic horror story that builds to an apocalyptic ending, KILLING STELLA distills many of the themes of Marlen Haushofer's acclaimed novel THE WALL into a claustrophobic, gothic, shattering novella.

The Loft
An Austrian housewife sits in her loft intent on her drawings of birds and insects. Then one day a disturbing package arrives in the post...The narrator of this story spends her free time in her loft. It is a retreat where she can draw undisturbed. It is also a retreat from her dull and dissatisfied husband, a man who sighs unhappily even when she sneezes. Their grown-up children are living independent lives and the house is very quiet. Her dreams are filled with domestic drudgery.The arrival of the parcel threatens her quiet equilibrium. It contains extracts from the narrator's diary, written twenty years before. They date back to a time when she was sent away by her husband to a remote cottage in a bid to 'cure' her from unexplained sudden deafness. More mysterious packages arrive. Who is sending them? And what did happened all those years ago in the forest?'A thrilling novel... What gives this book its tremendous power? First the voice is charming, with a skittish beauty throughout... But there is also disarming honesty, and a lack of vanity, which appeals as only truth can' John Self, GuardianTRANSLATED BY AMANDA PRANTERA
