From Kirkus Reviews
Preadolescent sexuality merges with depressive fantasy--to devastating (if ineffably morbid) effect in this once-notorious novel by a German writer and artist (1916–70) who, like this novel's young protagonist, took her own life shortly after its (1967) publication. She's a nameless suburban girl who's provoked, by her slovenly mother's indifference, her beloved father's long absences from home, and her own claustrophobic self-absorption, into masturbatory daydreams and tentative baby steps toward adult sexual expression. The story's (expertly caught) tone and rhythm are indeed hypnotic (though one nowhere senses the complexity attributed to it by translator Rupprecht's labored introduction), and Zürn caps it with a marvelously bleak, brisk final scene. Unusual and memorable fiction. -- Copyright © 2000 Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
Synopsis
Dark Spring is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age novel that reads more like an exorcism than a memoir. In terse and lucid prose, author Unica Zurn traces the roots of her own neurotic obsessions: the exotic father whom she idolised, the 'impure' mother she detested, and the masochistic fantasies and masturbatory rituals which she said described 'the erotic life of a little girl based on my own childhood.' The protagonist of this story, a nameless little girl, and her playmate, Elisa, invent a howling language which they use to express the grief of the whole world. The results are savage and terrifying.

Powerful
1. November 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
The ending of this book will I believe haunt me for days to come...One of the best novels I have ever read though not for all tastes. I found Zurn's writing hypnotic and mystifying. A dark and honest german tale of innocence tarnished, love lost, suicide, dreams, sex, violence, domestic hell all seen through the eyes of a lonely twelve year old girl. Beautiful, sad and and unfortunately prophetic - spoiler-(Unica Zurn, the author killed herself in real life). Anyone interested in psychology or stories dealing with youthful angst must read this gripping literary work of art. A masterpiece.

Incredibly Haunting Imagery
26. April 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This is an incredibly vivid and haunting book by a very talented writer. As a result of her life, her work seems to not receive the recognition that it should. The writing in this book is beautiful. She deals with the fractured feminine psyche piling on surreal images that create a nightmare echo that resounds from cover to cover. Brilliant.

a sad tale well told
12. Dezember 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Unica Zurn had her problems, no doubt about it, but she was also a talented writer who had the ability to turn her pain and suffering into art. This sort of reminds me of that other gem on the same topic entitled THE BELL JAR by Sylvia Plath. I suggest you get it. Unica Zurn deserves to be read and remembered.
