Tim Krohn, Vrenelis Gärtli: Quatemberkinder live in two worlds. They are humans, and at the same time they frequent ghosts and demons of all kind. Melk is a Quatember child. He is not very skilled in magic though, because he finds it insanely dreamy. But Vreneli holds her protecting hand over him. In 1998, in his novel «Quatemberkinder», Tim Krohn told the story of Melk and how he just wouldn’t understand that Vreneli quite liked him. The novel «Vrenelis Gärtli», then, puts his friend at centre stage. Compared to the reticent Melk, Vreneli is a real tomboy who escapes any social control. His world of magic is fading though. In the very moment in which Melk and Vreneli finally come together, logos, as embodied by Melk, wins over myth, and Vreneli silently disappears from this world. Tim Krohn surprises the reader again with his inimitable mix of German and the Alpine dialect of the Canton of Glarus. He smoothly weaves together these two idioms into a magical narrative flow such that the language itself mirrors the essential conflict between myth and modernity. Subtle nuances sometimes suspend Krohn’s fine diction and bring forth a wondrously humorous effect. (Beat Mazenauer, transl. by Anja Hälg) Full version in german on viceversaliteratur.ch.

Monique Schwitter, Eins im Andern: Twelve Loves in the order of the twelve apostles make «Eins im Andern». Monique Schwitter’s roundelay narration presents love from various angles and in various shades. Petrus was the first on whom she built her love, he was followed by his brother Andrew, then came Jacob, and so on until not Judas ended the roundelay but a nameless you: the brother who «betrayed» love through his early death. One inside the other the author finally finds the secret core of her love. «Eins im Andern» was awarded the Swiss Book Prize 2015.
