Dragica Rajčić Holzner ( pseudonym Karla Jakob ; born April 1, 1959 in Radošić (Lećevica) ) is a Croatian writer .

Life

Dragica Rajčić grew up in Croatia . After graduating from high school and spending time in Australia , she came to Switzerland in 1978 , where she worked as a cleaning lady, ironer and home worker. In 1988 she returned to Croatia. There she founded the newspaper Glas Kaštela and worked as a journalist . In 1991, during the wars in Yugoslavia, she and her three children fled to Switzerland, where she was involved in peace work. She then studied "Sociocultural Animation" at the HSA Lucerne. She lives in Zurich and Innsbruck and is married to Johann Holzner .

Dragica Rajčić started writing in the early 1970s, first in her mother tongue. Since her first stay in Switzerland, she has also written poems , short prose and plays in German . In her German-language lyrical works, Rajčić often cultivates a style that is deliberately based on so-called “guest worker German” and appears rudimentary and flawed on the surface.
