      Yes, she is. Although she also spent part of her childhood and went to college in New Zealand. Apart from that she’s Jewish.

      I mean, her last name does sound German, so maybe the guy you replied to just read the book in German and assumed that was the original language? But I can confirm it’s not.

      She also is literally a boomer and her dayjob is being the landlord of a bunch of low-income properties she bought in Alberquerque, so if you subscribe to mainstream Lemmy’s philosophies, you probably won’t like her very much outside of her writing.
