In Film and Fate: Camera Flashes Illuminating a Life, Ilse Aichinger describesher past and her present largely from the viewpoint of her abidingpassion for the cinema, and for still photography. She reflects on her life bydiscussing directors ranging from Luchino Visconti to Leni Riefenstahl, actorsranging from Orson Welles to Stan Laurel, and photographs by Bill Brandt depictingsubjects as diverse as the Brontës' Haworth Parsonage and London'sEast End. Though Aichinger's recollections are detailed, intriguing and vivid,they are pervaded by her sense of the contingency and fragility of existence- of how the presence of pictures and people in her life presages their disappearance,and of how "memory shatters easily when you try to master it."
The translator: Geoff Wilkes is a Senior Lecturer in German Studies at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. His previous translations include Irmgard Keun’s Gilgi, One of Us and some short pieces by Hans Fallada.
