“I can allow myself to write the truth; all the people for whom I have lied throughout my life are dead…” writes the heroine of Marlen Haushofer’sThe Wall, a quite ordinary, unnamed middle-aged woman who awakens to find she is the last living human being. Surmising her solitude is the result of a too successful military experiment, she begins the terrifying work of not only survival, but self-renewal.The Wall is at once a simple and moving talk – of potatoes and beans, of hoping for a calf, of counting matches, of forgetting the taste of sugar and the use of one’s name – and a disturbing meditation on 20th century history.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marlen Haushofer

Marlen Haushofer (1920–1970) depois de uma infância idílica no Norte da Áustria, estudou Filosofia e Literatura em Viena e Graz. Viveu dividida entre as aspirações literárias e uma invisibilidade deliberada, a escrita como missão e a «frieza gélida da alma pequeno-burguesa» (Klaus Antes), que dominava a sua vida familiar.

Autora que nunca quis notoriedade, recebeu o Prémio Arthur Schnitzler e, em 1968, o Grande Prémio de Literatura da Áustria. Influência para Elfriede Jelinek, que lhe dedicaria uma das suas peças, escreveu contos e romances, entre os quais A Parede (1963), a sua obra-prima, e A Mansarda (1969), habitados por heroínas inesquecíveis.
