WALTRAUD MITTICH: "EINE RUSSE AUS KIEV"
In her latest book, Waltraud Mittich tells a story of origin that reveals the fractures left in biographies by the last great war. In an autofictional manner, she tells of her Ukrainian father, an officer in the Red Army, tells this father, whom she never knew, about his present-day Ukraine and, in anecdotes and short historical digressions, about her own life and womanhood in South Tyrol. She also recalls the search for a father by the great author Joseph Roth, born in Brody, today Ukraine, and his Galicia, former crown land of the Habsburg monarchy.
