Christa Ascher

In over 20 years of translation work, Christa Ascher (Berlin) has translated the most important works of John W. Doorly into German. My mother possessed a keen sense for the spirit and letter of John W. Doorly's works. She began her work on a monstrous typewriter, but then enthusiastically switched to a PC so that she could repeatedly edit the texts thoroughly using word processing systems. As an English and German studies scholar, I was privileged to assist her. Today, I hold the rights to her translations and explore the optimal publication options, often with partners. Unpublished digital versions of Doorly's verbatim lectures and summer schools are available (see below).
