Philippe Rahmy, Béton armé: «Shanghai is not a city. This is not the word that comes to mind. Nothing comes. Then astonishment at the noise. Noise like the ocean or an engine of war. A tumult, an infinity of perspectives, angles and surfaces amplifying the racket.» The man who dedicates himself to that megalomaniac colossus Shanghai in «Reinforced Concrete» – and does so with all his senses, especially his sense of rhythm and the sound of words – is forty years old and severely disabled since birth.

Reto Hänny, Flug: The welcoming chatter of the guests suddenly falls silent. The boy, who was just loudly pretending to be an airplane, watches as his irritated great uncle breaks his funfair propeller forever. A minor childhood trauma, which, however, results in the grown narrator, who is on an alpine flight, to set off unstoppably down memory lane. In his second novel, Reto Hänny elaborately strings various fragments together: from a childhood in the mountains, school years in Ruch (an anagram of Chur, the capital of the Swiss Canton of Grisons, which was eponymous for Hänny’s debut novel «Ruch»), right up to the youth unrests of the 1980s and the subsequent police repression. «It could have easily been like that: driven from the mountains to the city and so forth.» Thus the author continues dreaming about flying with both open and sceptical eyes – while also recounting the history of aviation and its progress by the example of the French aviation pioneer Blériot. But we are not faced with the inflated hero of a record flight across the English Channel of 1909. Because flight also always the crash landing. And so fantasy lets smashes the author in his alpine aircraft to pieces in the fog. Hänny ends his «Flight» novel with a single, nebulous and equivocal word: ‹submerged›. (Severin Perrig, trans. by Simon Froehling)
