SLU PROFESSOR TO GIVE PRESENTATION ON TWO BOOKS

CANTON - The Friends of Owen D. Young and Launders Libraries at 
St. Lawrence University will hold a celebration on Friday, March 29, 
at 4 p.m. in the Josephine Young Room of Owen D. Young Library for 
Lewis Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures Gudrun Brokoph. 
Brokoph will speak about her books Ingeborg Bachmann: Neue Richtungen 
in der Forschung? and Thunder Rumbling At My Heels: Tracing 
Ingeborg Bachmann at the event, which is open to the public.
	Ingeborg Bachmann: Neue Richtungen in der Forschung? ("Ingeborg 
Bachmann: New Directions in the Research?") is a compilation of the 
proceedings of a colloquium held in Saranac Lake in 1991 on the works 
of Bachmann, the most prominent Austrian woman writer of the 20th 
century; the volume was edited by Brokoph.
	Thunder Rumbling At My Heels: Tracing Ingeborg Bachmann was 
edited and includes an introduction by Brokoph. The book presents research 
and analysis of a cross-section of Bachmann's work, ranging from her 
poetry to her essays, radio plays, short stories and novels as well as 
the film adaptation of her novel Malina.
	Brokoph has been a member of the St. Lawrence faculty since 1973. 
She is a graduate of the University of Missouri and earned her master's 
degree and Ph.D. at the University of California - Davis.
