Owls Do Cry on a roll

Wenn Eulen Schrein

Janet Frame

DTV February 2016

 

A new German edition of Janet Frame's first novel Owls Do Cry is published this month.

(sublicensed paperback edition)

Owls Do Cry was first published in German translation in 1961 and has been reissued several times since then. (This is at least the 8th German edition, to my knowledge - not counting reprints.)

 

This new German edition comes hot on the heels of the new UK edition published by Virago Modern Classics, which is receiving some marvellous notices, including positive reviews in the Irish Times, the Independent, the Guardian, BBC Radio 4 and Radio Scotland.

A new American edition is forthcoming in 2017, 60 years after first publication.
