Tommaso Soldini, Uno per uno: They grew up in Switzerland in the 1980s and 1990s, in a country that was flourishing; but even so, the characters in One by One live a life on the edge of society, a life full of unanswered questions. They all have their own worries, their little obsessions, their lives are all out of joint. They’re unhappy, or at least they’re quite convinced they’re unlucky.
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.
Michael Hugentobler, Louis oder Der Ritt auf der Schildkröte: Michael Hugentobler’s fantastical debut is the picaresque yarn of a pocket-sized Swiss braggart, who convinced the world that he was a French aristocrat and had spent years living with indigenous people in Australia. Initially feted by the world’s press, he ends up exposed and humiliated; but in this moving story of self-reinvention, nothing he said was wholly untrue. Born months premature, Hans Roth comes into the world very small, and stays that way. Growing up in an impoverished farming hamlet in nineteenth-century Switzerland, Hans is picked on by the other children. His parents are drunk and neglectful, and young Hans soon runs away with the gypsies and reinvents himself. He falls in with an English aristocrat, from whom he acquires some fine manners and a taste for the high life. He also gives himself a new name, Louis de Montesanto, and starts to spin ever taller tales for their mutual amusement. His many adventures include working as a grand but wayward butler in London and New York; but his most significant move takes him to Australia. The itch to travel drives him out of his job there and, via a misjudged escapade trying to make a fortune from pearls, into the Outback. Here the seminal experience of his life occurs. Together with two indigenous men, he walks for months in the desert to the remote home of their clan. He lives with them for years, marries and has a daughter, but feels increasingly trapped and isolated. He goes all but mad, kills one of the others, and walks off into the desert. Montesanto ends up in London, where he tells much-embellished stories to the press and the Royal Society. He is celebrated and briefly rich, living in a suite at the Savoy, until his flights of fancy – about riding tortoises and fighting sharks – bring him down. He dies destitute and homeless on the streets of Hackney. Louis de Montesanto is a sophisticated addition to the ranks of picaresque heroes in the literary canon, from Tristram Shandy onwards.
