Recently translated from the German, Bernese author Christian Kracht's 2021 novel returns to the seemingly clean Swiss soil of his childhood. An exploration of filial ties and the meaning of ancestry, set against a backdrop of money and Nazism.
An imaginary country town nestled among the Swiss hills is home to a tribe of people who do nothing like the others. This is the setting for L'habit fait le moine and other short stories, by one of the most widely read authors of the 19th century: Gottfried Keller.
Five years after the translation of his previous novel, Peter Stamm returned to the literary scene this spring. This was the occasion for an interview in Morges, in the orientalist setting of the authors' space at the festival Le Livre sur les quais.
Between humor and tenderness, Peter Stamm has produced a singular, intensely human novel, polished by the memory of love and the anxiety of living in a world that is changing too fast.
«Le Gros Poète», a book to be read aloud.
Un premier roman d'une virtuosité remarquable.
