Irene Dische Biography

Irene Dische is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on February 13, 1952 in New York City, United States. This book does a number of things beautifully, even brilliantly. It looks at the America of the 1950s and 1960s from a European refugee’s point of view, in all the infant superpower’s naivete, self-importance and glistening material success, as the refugees struggle to make the dream work for them too. It explains how life can appear to a person who is both a believer and a painfully practical realist. It also shows how character is inherited yet subtly altered over the generations.

In 1989, Dische published her first novel Pious Secrets. The book became a bestseller throughout Europe and was translated into fifteen languages. In 1993, Dische made her first appearance as a children’s author alongside co- writer Magnus Enzensberger, publishing Esterhazy, the tale of a hare searching for love in the Berlin of the late 1980s. Her next children’s book, Zwischen zwei Scheiben Glück (1997; Eng. Between Two Seasons of Happiness, 1998) tells the tale of a young Jewish boy who, following Kristallnacht, was sent into exile by his father, to stay with his seemingly stern grandfather in Hungary. The novel was awarded the German Young People’s Literature Award and was also released as an audio book. Dische’s most recent novel was also her most successful one. “The Empress of Weehawken”, Dische’s autobiography told from the point of view of her grandmother, was released in 2005 to significant critical acclaim.

In 2008 her book The Job was made into the German television movie, Ein Job starring Vanessa Redgrave.

In 1986, Dische produced the documentary film Zacharias (1986). The film was based on her own script about her father, a Jew from Lemberg, who – having grown up in Vienna – fled to America through France to become one of the most distinguished biochemists of his generation. It was broadcast on the ZDF.
