- Zsuzsanna Gahse, née Vajda, was born in Budapest, Hungary. Her family fled the country after the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1956 was crushed by the Soviets, and settled in Vienna, Austria. There she attended high school and learned the German language. She began publishing her writings in anthologies and literary journals in 1969. In 1978, encouraged by her mentor Helmut Heissenbüttel, a
German writer and critic, she started translating works from Hungarian into German. She has published translations of works by István Eörsi, Péter Esterházy, Péter Nádas and Zsuzsa Rakovszky, among others. From 1989 to 1993 she was a lecturer at the University of Tübingen. In 1996, she lectured in poetry at the University of Bamberg.
Among her own works are Volatile Texts: Us Two (2016); Erzählinseln (Story Islands, 2009), a collection of lectures she gave; Nichts ist wie oder Rosa kehrt nicht zurück (Nothing is Like or Rosa Does Not Return, 1999); Südsudelbuch (South Waste Book, 2012); and Jan, Janka, Sara und ich (2015). Her works have earned her many honors, including the Adelbert-von-Chamisso Preis in 2006, and the Italo-Svevo-Preis and the Werner-Bergengruen-Preis in 2017. In 2011, she was elected to membership in the German Academy for Language and Literature.
Today she lives mainly in Müllheim, Switzerland.
She is a member of the PEN Centers in Germany and Switzerland, as well as the authors' association Die Kogge.

The real underlying structure seems to be an examination of how the mechanism of language — things like tenses, genders, and the rules for assembling words — constrains what we can say and what assumptions it brings along, and how those things shift as you move between languages.
Fun, in a crossword-puzzle kind of way, and probably the sort of book that you could read multiple times in a completely different way each time.… (plus d'informations)
