David Collin, Les Cercles mémoriaux: Who is this man stranded in the Gobi Desert? What brought him here? The 'Castaway' is found by a caravan, and it soon becomes clear that he has forgotten everything. He knows nothing about his past and has no idea why or how he has come to this rather forbidding place. With the help of a shaman he tries to reconstruct his past. He wants to understand who he is and what his previous life was like. How did he become the man he is now? To do this, he has to travel halfway across the world. Small clues and scraps of memory gradually piece themselves together and help him regain his identity, and with it his name: Elias Alejandro Esquivel. Shen-li, a Chinese photographer, is his companion on this journey. First she takes him to an archaeological excavation site. Later they travel together through Ulan Bator and Shanghai and then all the way to Buenos Aires. Along the way, Shen-li continues to take photos. The captions to the photos become part of the novel – but without the images.
Dagny Gioulami, Alle Geschichten, die ich kenne: The young woman, who recently took over the dry-cleaners shop across the street, is soon to get married – and in Constantinople. The beautiful green taffeta dress, which she will wear for the occasion, is in a poor state. The narrator gets hold of some green taffeta and happens to know just who can make a copy of the wedding dress for her: her Aunt Irini, who lives in Greece.
Jacques Chessex, A Jew must die: On April 16th 1942, the cattle dealer Arthur Bloch is slain next to the market in Payerne and then dumped into the Lake of Neuchâtel. Bloch was highly estimated among the farmers as a fair dealer – but he was a Jew. That was enough to bring a group of half-witted Nazis to prey on him. Jacques Chessex, born in 1934 in Payerne, had heard about this case. He reviewed the case again. He recounts Arthur Bloch’s martyrdom matter-of-factly, like a chronicler, not least in order to evaluate if something similar could happen again. Behind the naive and fanatic murderers who were caught quickly, he discovers a network of perfidiously scheming agitators, among them the former vicar Lugrin whose hate was unbridled and essential. Chessex describes how he accidentally recognises Lugrin in a café in Lausanne in 1964 and sits down with him for a couple of eerie moments. Bloch was a random victim to set a warning example. By revisiting the case, Chessex brings back the preposterous and terrible act into the collective consciousness. The book was received as a provocation especially in Payerne, most probably for its factual, sober recounting and for its wanting to understand rather than to denounce.
