| Title: Katrin: The Tale of a Young Writer |
| By (author): Unica ZuÌ rn |
| ISBN13: 9791298505100 |
| Katrin. The Tale of a Young Writer is a novel by the artist Unica ZÃ"rn (Berlin 1916â 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. ZÃ"rn tells the story of fifteen-year-old motherless Katrin, an aspiring writer, who lives with her father, also a writer. The novel is set in an imaginary world, a metropolis called Linit, split into three levels: Oberstadt (Hightown), Mittelstadt (Middletown) and Unterstadt (Lowtown), overlooked by a Volcano where the artists live and crossed by the river Emil. Presented as a book for children, apparently written for her own daughter (named Katrin), Katrin also draws on the personal biography of ZÃ"rn 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 characterised by great tensions. |

| Title: Superior and Inferior. Conversations among girls at middle school |
| By (author): Carla Accardi |
| ISBN13: 9791298505117 |
| The book Superior and Inferior presents a facsimile reprint of Carla Accardiâ s provocatory publication Superiore e Inferiore and the first ever English translation of the full text. First published in 1972 by Italian abstract artist and feminist Carla Accardi (1924â 2014), the book Superiore e Inferiore features discussions among girls at a middle school â all between 10 and 13 â about societyâ s discriminatory behaviour towards women. They also commented the Manifesto of the revolutionary feminist group Rivolta Femminile â collectively written by Accardi, art critic and feminist activist Carla Lonzi, and Elvira Banotti â which first appeared posted on city walls in Rome in July 1970. For having discussed sex-related issues with pupils, Accardi was fired and permanently suspended from teaching. (Her letter of dismissal issued by the Italian Ministry of Education forms part of the introduction to the book.) Along the lines of Pasoliniâ s Comizi dâ Amore (Love Meetings), Accardiâ s own voice is secondary in the book, giving way to the thoughts, narratives, opinions, and debates expressed among girls on the role of women and girls, family conflicts and intimate relations. |
