	Antonio Fian No other writer, with the possible exception of Helmut Qualtinger, has captured Austrian mentality – whether of intellectuals or the general populace – more accurately than the Carinthian-born Viennese resident Antonio Fian.
	Eleonore Frey Eleonore Frey’s prose counters the world of established identities, of facts and figures and stone-cast certainties with gentle skepticism and unwavering commitment to all those who have lost their footing or never gained a foothold in reality in the first place.
	Barbara Frischmuth Hardly an author of ours is as competent as Barbara Frischmuth when it comes to investigating the complex relations between Orient and Occident, between Middle East and West.

	Monique Schwitter You might well become dizzy when you read these unusual short stories...

	Bernhard Strobel Bernhard Strobel’s narratives depict people in crises, tense atmospheres in the family, among friends or neighbours. We read dialogues on the verge of conflict, oscillating between belligerence and tight-lippedness.

	David Wagner »The Proust-inspired West German stylist« (New York Times)
