Reading tip
Massimo Gezzi, Il numero dei vivi: Six years after his collection «L’attimo dopo», Massimo Gezzi, with «The Living», has reached a new stage in his poetic journey. If, in his previous work, the influence of certain poets was evident - Eugenio Montale and Vittorio Sereni, for example, as well as Fabio Pusterla – in «The Living», such influences are less pronounced, and Gezzi comes fully into his own with poems that tend progressively towards prose.

Marie-Jeanne Urech, Le syndrome de la tête qui tombe: Down in the basement, the faceless workers sit and perform dull tasks. People have become mute cogs in a machine, all of which answer to the name «Blanchard». Only their title indicates their level in the hierarchy. Over them reigns «our most brilliant and pantheonic exalted highness.... beloved Mr Blanchard». One of these basement inhabitants is Arthur Bellange, who spends all day every day plotting rising diagonal lines. The sharper the rise, the greater the company's success. Unlike his colleagues, Bellange retains a spark of self-will, remembering his real name and taking the day off on Sundays. Such individuals are not punished. The company is no dictatorship, it simply deals in the daily grind. «Le Syndrome de la tête qui tombe» depicts an absurd, superficial world in which Kafka meets Orwell – all for the success of the company. It is hard to imagine a more wickedly comical portrayal of the trading business. Marie-Jeanne Urech has created a wonderfully irreverent parable which she gradually brings to light in sober, precise language. When Mr Bellange starts drawing dainty trees instead of straight lines, the business goes under. (Beat Mazenauer, trans. by Andrea Willfratt)
Reading tip
Nicolas Couchepin, Les Mensch: The Mensches are a completely ordinary family. They live in an ordinary part of town, worry about the usual things and hope for what everyone hopes for. Theo, the paterfamilias, is worried about growing old. Muriel, his wife, frets that she isn’t the perfect mother. Marie, their daughter, has discovered that she won’t live forever. And Simon, her younger brother, is mentally handicapped: he longs to be independent, which can’t happen.
