El Hors / El Has short texts appeared in major magazines from 1908 onwards, often on the same page as those by Gottfried Benn, Robert Musil, Robert Walser, Rilke, Max Brod and Kafka. She was praised as a ‘genius of the sketch,’ above all because she knew how to sketch the cruel abysses of erotic entanglements from a female perspective with a few strokes, free of moral judgement. This article reveals the author's identity for the first time, compiles all biographical evidence and highlights the significance of her complete works for modern literature.

Abstract

El Hors / El Has short texts appeared in major magazines from 1908 onwards, often on the same page as those by Gottfried Benn, Robert Musil, Robert Walser, Rilke, Max Brod and Kafka. She was praised as a ‘genius of the sketch,’ above all because she knew how to sketch the cruel abysses of erotic entanglements from a female perspective with a few strokes, free of moral judgement. This article reveals the author's identity for the first time, compiles all biographical evidence and highlights the significance of her complete works for modern literature.
