Autor

Kim de l'Horizon is a Swiss novelist, performer, and playwright. Kim was born in 2666 on Gethen, a planet much freer than this one. Landing here on Earth was hard, as there is so much yet to change, so much at the edges of the horizon yet to be brought into the center, so much "I" yet to be fluidified. Kim studies witchcraft with Starhawk, as well as how sedentarization is the cause of our current mess. Sea, Mothers, Swallow, Tongues is Kim's debut novel. Originally published in German as Blutbuch, it won the Jürgen Ponto Foundation Literature Prize, the German Book Prize, and the Swiss Book Prize. It has been translated into seventeen languages and adapted several times for the stage. Jamie Lee Searle translates literature from the German and the Portuguese. Her publications include Twelve Nights, by Urs Faes; Kalmann, by Joachim B. Schmidt; and a cotranslation of Angela Merkel's memoir, Freedom. She is a Royal Literary Fund Fellow and a cofounder of the Emerging Translators Network.
