Marlen Haushofer’s classic 1968 novel THE WALL (forthcoming June 21st!) is a haunting feminist sci-fi masterpiece and international bestseller that is “as absorbing as Robinson Crusoe” (Doris Lessing). Translated by Shaun Whiteside. “The Wall is speculative fiction of a distinctly existential sort, where the subject being speculated on is not what happened to the world, but what happens to reality when society is stripped away....Nothing resolves, yet the book is constantly resonating.”—Martin Riker, @wallstreet.journal “Brilliant in its sustainment of dread, in its peeling away of old layers of reality to expose a raw way of seeing and feeling. Doris Lessing once remarked that only a woman could have written this novel, and it’s true: I know of no closer study in claustrophobia and liberation, and of independence whose severity is at once ecstatic and doomed. I’ve read The Wall three times already and am nowhere near finishes.”—Nicole Krauss
