Author Description

Beginning with personal remembrances, experiences, and feelings, Mayrocker adds linguistic material collected from a variety of sources (which through the years she gathered on pieces of paper) to create a grand collage in with each clouded peak, a collage subject to the permutations, repetitions, and rediscoveries of everyday life. The result is a text that does not easily fit into any genre, as it straddles autobiography, essay, fiction, and poetry.
