Gilgi, One of Us: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Irmgard Keunen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 dec 2019
'A formidable literary talent ... Sharp yet naïve, Gilgi is utterly human'Irish Times
Gilgi knows where she's going in life: she's ambitious, focused and determined, even when her boss tries it on with her, even when her parents reveal a terrible secret on her twenty-first birthday. Then she meets the charming but feckless Martin and, for the first time, Gilgi finds herself bewilderingly and dangerously derailed. Irmgard Keun's electrifying debut was an instant sensation in Weimar Germany, with its frank, fearless exploration of sex, work and love.
Translated by Geoff Wilkes
'How contemporary the novel feels, with its portrait of a woman fighting to maintain control over her life and her body'The New York Times

Notă biografică
Irmgard

Berlin
in
1905
and
found
instant
success
with
her
novelsGilgi(1931)
andThe
Artificial
Silk
Girl(1932).
Everything
changed
in
1933
when
the
Nazis
blacklisted
her
and
destroyed
her
books;
in
response,
she
attempted
to
sue
the
Gestapo
for
loss
of
earnings.
She
left
Germany
(and
her
husband)
in
1936
and
lived
in
exile
in
Europe,
where
she
wroteChild
of
All
Nations(1936)
andAfter
Midnight(1937).
She
sneaked
back
into
Germany
in
1940
under
a
false
name
and
spent
the
rest
of
the
war
in
Cologne.
In
later
years,
she
wrote
for
magazines
and
radio
and
raised
a
daughter
alone.
She
died
in
1982.
Recenzii
A
gem
of
novel,
a
bittersweet
delight
...
Keun
brilliantly
conveys
both
the
decadence
and
the
despair
of
late-era
Weimar
Germany
...
Expertly
translated
by
Geoff
Wilkes
I was struck by how contemporary the novel feels ... A femaleTimesreviewer in 1932 noted that 'countless hard-working, industrious, healthy young girls recognized themselves in the heroine'. I suspect many members of our #MeToo generation will do so as well
The overwhelming power of Keun's work lies in her surprisingly raw, witty, and resonant feminine voices
