Klappentext zu „Notes from Childhood “
A series of luminous vignettes describe the childhood of Argentinas rediscovered modernist writer. Self-contained, interconnected fragments begin with her familys departure to Mendoza in 1910 and end with their return to Buenos Aires and the death of her father in 1915. Langes notes tell intimate, half-understood stories from the seemingly peaceful realm of childhood, a realm inhabited by an eccentric narrator searching for clues on womanhood and her own identity. She watches: her pubescent older sister, bathing naked in the moonlight; the death of a horse; and herself, a changeable and untimely girl. How she cried, when lifted onto a table and dressed as a boy, and how she laughed, climbing onto the kitchen roof in mens clothing and throwing bricks to announce her performance. Lange makes her domestic setting into a laboratory where strangeness and eroticism combine in delicate, daring flashes of literary brilliance.
Autoren-Porträt von Norah Lange
Norah Lange (1905 - 1972) was a key figure in the Argentine avant-garde of the early to mid-twentieth century. Beginning her career as a poet, her first major success came in 1937 with her memoir Notes from Childhood, followed by the companion memoir Before They Die, and the novels People in the Room and The Two Portraits. She contributed to the magazines Proa and Martín Fierro, and was a friend to figures such as Jorge Luis Borges, Pablo Neruda, and Federico García Lorca. Charlotte Whittle has been instrumental in bringing Lange to audiences in English. With People in the Room she was longlisted for the American Literary Translators Association prize and shortlisted for both the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation and the Society of Authors TA First Translation Prize.
