The Country Road
The stories in this volume are largely set in the Swiss countryside, and though resonant of nineteenth-century village tales and of authors such as Adalbert Stifter, Ullmann s distinctive, otherworldly voice has inspired comparisons to her contemporary Robert Walser. In her stories, the archaic and the modern collide. In one tale, a young woman on an exhausting country walk recoils at a passing bicyclist, but accepts a ride from a wagon, taking her seat on a trunk with a snake coiled inside. As Ullmann writes, sometimes the whole world appears to be painted on porcelain, right down to the dangerous cracks. This delicate but brittle beauty, with its ominous undertones, gives Regina Ullmann her unique voice."
The Country Road: Stories
Although a famous Swiss author, Regina Ullmann has never appeared before in English: her oracular, strange, singular voice astonishes. Never before in English, Regina Ullmann's work is distinctive and otherworldly, resonant of nineteenth-century village tales and of authors such as Adalbert Stifter and her contemporary Robert Walser. In the stories of The Country Road, largely set in the Swiss countryside, the archaic and the modern collide, and "sometimes the whole world appears to be painted on porcelain, right down to the dangerous cracks." this delicate but fragile beauty, with its ominous undertones, gives Ullmann her unique voice.

De landweg
De verhalen in De landweg spelen zich grotendeels af op het Zwitserse platteland aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw, een tijdperk waarin het archaïsche en het moderne samenkomen. Ullmann laat haar personages worstelen in een onheilspellende wereld waar de dood, eenzaamheid en fragiele schoonheid alomtegenwoordig zijn. In elk verhaal toont zij zich een meesterlijk observator van de kwetsbare mens. Haar proza is eigenzinnig, mysterieus, haar stijl zintuiglijk; haar werk wordt vaak vergeleken met dat van Robert Walser.
Where D.H. Lawrence was Wrong about Woman
She may be sodomized and taken in contemptuous anger, as in Lady Chatterly's Lover, and is depicted as enjoying this. The enthusiasm for the sodomizing of woman is quite clearly there in The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Mr. Noon. Some critics have spoken of this as a "holy communion," but Holbrook sees it as a denial of woman, an avoidance of the matrix where the ghost of the dead mother lurks. In the end, in The Plumed Serpent, an intelligent American woman submits herself to the fascistic domination of two murderers who are running a new religious-political campaign, while forfeiting even her capacity for orgasm. Everything in Lawrence's work leads to this false solution. Yet such critics as F.R. Leavis commend Lawrence for his concepts of "manhood"--And even endorse such stories as The Virgin and the Gypsy, in which a duplicitous traveler seduces a young girl in vengeance on the middle class.
