Barbara Frischmuth, among the most widely recognized and respected
Austrian writers today, is recognized not only for her descriptive
skill, but also for being a moderate feminist. In these four short
tales she presents realistic portraits of women caught up in
relationships determined largely by social conventions,
internalized roles, and sometimes just plain bad luck. Taking her
title from Ecclesiastes "All is vanity and a chasing after the
wind" she presents psychologically sound studies of women
protagonists' futile efforts to break out of the deadend
situations, in which they have been trapped.
Contents: Let it Be; Tree of the Forgotten Dog; Chasing after
the Wind; Bad Timing
