Viviamo dentro un cerchio di bocche di fuoco che si restringe di ora in ora». L'autrice ha voluto restare anonima da quando il libro vide per la prima volta la luce negli anni Cinquanta e fu accolto, soprattutto in Germania, con un senso di fastidio, anzi, di esplicito rifiuto. Decise allora di vietarne ogni riedizione finché fosse rimasta in vita. Solo dopo la sua morte, avvenuta nel 2001, Hans M. Enzensberger ebbe l'autorizzazione a riproporlo.
