Katrin:
The Tale of a Young Writer
Published by Crackers, Milan, 2024, 176 pp., 14 × 20 cm, English
Price: €15

Katrin. The Tale of a Young Writer is a novel by the artist Unica Zürn (Berlin 1916–Paris 1970). It was written in 1953, although it would never be published in her lifetime. This is the first translation of the tale from German into English.

Presented as a book for children, apparently written for her own daughter (named Katrin), Katrin also draws on the personal biography of Zürn herself, in terms of her relationship with her father and the city of Berlin after WWII, and her experience with people on the margins of a society characterized by great tensions.

Designed by Kiki Gordon.
