35 Jahre lang hat John E. Woods Arno Schmidt übersetzt, fast das gesamte literarische Werk des deutschen Schriftstellers übertrug der Amerikaner in seine Muttersprache. Die erste Schmidt-Lektüre war für ihn eine »Explosion« – mit Schmidts »Evening Edged in Gold« (»Abend mit Goldrand«) hat der preisgekrönte Übersetzer seine Karriere einst begonnen, dessen wichtigstes und umfangreichstes Werk hob sich Woods bis zum Schluss auf: Jetzt liegt der Überroman »Zettel’s Traum« endlich auf Englisch vor. Schmidts Sprachspiele, eine Herausforderung für jeden Übersetzer, hat Woods immer kreativ in die flexible englische Sprache übertragen, und manchmal ist seine Lösung witziger als das Original. John E. Woods über Bottom’s Dream: »›I have had a dream past the wit of man to say what dream it was,‹ says Bottom. ›I have had a dream, and I wrote a Big Book about it,‹ Arno Schmidt might have said. Schmidt’s rare vision is a journey into many literary worlds. First and foremost it is about Edgar Allan Poe, or perhaps it is language itself that plays that lead role; and it is certainly about sex in its many Freudian disguises, but about love as well, whether fragile and unfulfilled or crude and wedded.«

How has it happened that from being politely ignored or marginalized just half a century ago, women writers in Italy are now at the centre of literary activity? To what extent does writing by women reflect the successes and failures of Italy in the post-war period? What form did the feminist movement in Italy take, and how did this affect what - and how - women wrote? And how are women who write responding to a more fragmented post-modern age? These are just some of the questions asked of the relationship between women and fiction in post-war Italy in this anthology. It includes stories by Cialente, Ginzburg, Ortese, Morante, Romano, Maraini and Duranti as well as Bompiani, Sanvitale, Mizzau, Scaramuzzino, Capriolo and Petrignani. The thirteen stories presented offer a range of style and content indicative of the wealth and diversity of writing by women, and their reading is supported by critical notes and an extensive vocabulary. This is a clear and challenging introduction to the rich field of women and fiction in Italy. ;
