Ernst Kaiser Archive?
Hello,

I recently read your 11 April addition to the Wikipedia entry of Ernst Kaiser. My name is Ali, and I instigated the translation into English of his two extant published novels by a new, independent micro-press which specialises in avant-garde European fiction. It would seem that, if your username is any indication, you are either the niece of Mrs. Wilkins referenced in the paragraph you added, or are somehow involved with her. If either is true, I was wondering if you could assist me with a few queries. Mainly I am interested in the manuscripts. Is there anymore fiction in the archive? I was always under the impression that Schattenmann and Die Geschichte Eines Mordes were the only surviving pieces of fiction by Kaiser, and none of the webpages concerning him I was able to read said anything different. If so, is any of it in English or did he stick with German for his literary work, and are there any plans for further publication? Are there, perhaps, translation drafts or monographs among these manuscripts? Judging by what I've been able to find, Kaiser and Eithne Wilkins were unflaggingly devoted to their work, the most recent translation of their's I have is Siegfried Lenz's The German Lesson, released in 1971, less than a year before Kaiser's death, so I wouldn't be surprised to discover there were. Thanks for your help! Information about Kaiser beyond his Wikipedia entry is difficult to find online, in German or English, so anything you can tell me about this archive's contents, even if it's not related to my questions, would be very useful.
