Reviews

The femundo portal praised the novel “Summer and Winter” as a gripping drama about the search for one's own identity:

“The narrow novel quickly gains depth, it is exciting and, precisely because of its sober tone, develops a great emotional impact. The Sommer family obviously has something to hide, between the lines ... a lot of the unsaid flashes out ... "

Awards

• From the first novel in summer and winter , a fifth was the Cultural Office Innsbruck special edition of 10,000 in the course of the project Innsbruck reads distributed.
• Judith Taschler received the Friedrich Glauser Prize 2014 for Die Deutschlehrerin . The jury's reasoning: “Love, betrayal and death. It is the big issues in life that Judith Taschler packs into a small chamber play with virtuoso language. And it is the soft tones that give this life confession, which is held as a dialogue, a dramatic depth. Unobtrusively, a panopticon of lost life opportunities opens up to the reader. Two people, made for each other, follow their egocentric life plans and miss each other. Irritated and moved by the tragedy of the story, we follow the opportunistic logic of action of the protagonists to the bitter end. Amélie Nothomb once said that life means failure . As consistently, exciting and literarily subtle as Judith Taschler implements the topic, failure is also a delight! "
