AND HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS COUNTRY? - FRIEDRICH V...

These stories by Otti Binswanger  the niece of the German aviator Otto Lilienthal  were written
in the 1940s in New Zealand  where they were published originally in 1945. Otti Binswanger had
come to New Zealand in 1939 as a refugee from Nazi Germany together with her husband Paul
Binswanger  a German-Jewish scholar of Romance Languages. These stories constitute an important
and highly original contribution not only to New Zealand literature  but also to the corpus of
literature by exiles in the 20 th century. In her stories Otti Binswanger creates an authentic
sympathetic  and at the same time critical portrait of the country and its people as she
encountered them as an immigrant. They are inside stories with the eye of an outsider written
in the clear and matter-of-fact style of the period.The essay by Livia Käthe Wittmann
(Christchurch NZ) gives an introduction to both the stories as well as to the multi-facetted
personality and life of Otti Binswanger.
