In Lange Schatten [Long Shadows], the disconcerting fullness of the world, which Marie Luise Kaschnitz constantly attempts to show, is created. Among personal experiences are some which forever capture the frights and horrors of the recent past. As critics once said, they are complete word paintings, which bring the reader into a dodgy situation from the first sentence, demanding a solution, which finally appears in the last sentence.
