Author Information

Birgit Bulla is a journalist who lives in Munich and works as a freelance editor for various magazines. Out of the blue in her mid-twenties, she developed an irritable bladder. The response to her blog, pinkelbelle.de, shows that she’s far from alone. Today she knows everything about this part of the body, and it comes as no surprise: Bulla is, after all, the Latin word for bladder. Rachel Stanyon has worked as a teacher and researcher in Germany and the UK, and is currently based in Australia, where she volunteers for the world literature journal Asymptote and works as a translator from German. She holds a master’s in translation, and in 2016 won a place in the New Books in German Emerging Translators Programme.
