Jennifer is a writer and critic originally from Melbourne but now dividing her time between Munich and the Adelaide Hills. She has written many works of literary criticism, but these days prefers to concentrate on writing short stories and novels, many of which explore the vagaries of living between cultures and between languages. She is the child of immigrant parents. A German father and a Ukrainian mother brought a mix of different languages and cultures into her Australian household. Now she likes to mix and play with these confluences, but also to explore the alienation and disaffection of the immigrant experience. She is currently working on her first novel.
