Veza Canetti

Venetiana "Veza" Taubner-Calderon Canetti was an Austrian novelist, playwright, and short story writer. Her works – including singular short stories published in the Viennese Arbeiter Zeitung and other socialist outlets – were only published under her own name posthumously. She preferred pseudonyms, as was common at the time for left-wing or satirical authors, her favourite being Veza Magd. The Tortoises which is set at the time of the Kristallnacht in 1938 remains her only known published novel
