Kramlovsky writes short stories and novels and is also a painter, and her language is correspondingly rich in images. Her (female) figures are always precisely aware of the power of the erotic.
This power has its destructive side, too; fearful things happen when desire is rejected, when love is betrayed.
When the man in her crime novel Das Risiko (The Risk) leaves his wife for a younger woman, the former mutates into a veritable goddess of revenge. In the surreal novella Das Chamäleon (The Chameleon), two women and a man share a strange and disturbing bond that leads to an unholy union. [Kramlovsky's] female characters are not plagued by a guilty conscience.
The reader is captivated by that easy self-evidence of response, that matter-of-factness in difficult situations that is otherwise purely the province of men: It really can be that simple!
Sylvia Treudl in Wienerin, Summer 1998
