«How does this woman manage to be so clear and hard towards herself?»
A few years before The Wall, Marlen Haushofer wrote the novella Wir töten Stella (literally We Kill
Stella), where a narrator reviews the circumstances surrounding the death of a young girl who has been run over by a truck.
The edifice of the solid, middle-class family where 19-year-old Stella comes to stay for a year as a student is soon revealed
as a merciless trap; each member of the family betrays the young woman in a different way. A conversation with Julian Pölsler
about the second part of his Haushofer Trilogy.
