Andrea Fazioli, Uno splendido inganno: Guido Moretti is a man of the highest integrity, who has worked all his life as an accountant, first in Italy, then in Switzerland. One day, someone robs the service station where he works. No one is hurt, but Guido alone notices something, a small detail he cannot get out of his mind. Shortly afterwards, he retires. So, is this to be the start of life of monotony? Of just going for walks and playing cards? Not a bit of it. Guido is a man of regular habits and an irreproachable way of life, but he becomes captivated by the beautiful and provocative Vanessa, a professional confidence trickster. Can she really be in love with him? Or is she after something? And if so, what? The backdrop to the story is Zürich, an excessively wealthy and clean city, whose vices are concealed beneath the manicured lawns of well-appointed villas, while the events set in Ascona and Milan highlight the nervous tension between North and South, a tension typical of Italian-speaking Switzerland. Fazioli tells a story of adventure and suspense – in which no one is what they seem. For all their confidence tricks, the fraudsters are perhaps more genuine than the austere citizens who make money, collect original paintings and live in sumptuous residences, in a round of crowded cocktail parties and hushed conversations beside the lake...

Michael Fehr, Kurz vor der Erlösung: «Seventeen Sentences» (Siebzehn Sätze) is the sub-title to Michael Fehr’s first book, and in fact this unusual piece of writing does only contain seventeen sentences, long sentences, which are developed in the manner of a musical theme and variations (the word ‹Satz› in German can mean both sentence and musical composition). Within this structure we meet diverse groups and individuals, who have only one thing in common: they are all «on the verge of salvation» and, moreover, all «at the same point in time».
Fabiano Alborghetti, Registro dei fragili. 43 canti: A news story is the starting point for this extraordinary collection of poems. A mother kills her own child. The photo in the paper shows a blonde woman with a provocative appearance in the grip of an obsession with youth and success. The poet becomes a chronicler in search of reality with all of its various levels and hidden compartments. In the previous book («L'opposta Riva», 2006) the author visited the underground world of immigrants. In «Registro dei fragili», he pursues the realities of supermarkets, gyms and the colourful illusions of a society corrupted by television. To give poetic expression to this disconcerting realm of the vulgar, Fabiano Alborghetti (*1970) adopts a subtly sophisticated metre. Stanzas of octosyllable verse snake the page circling rhythmic themes that hint at nursery rhymes, reaching lofty stylistic heights or fading out in terrestrial realms. Alborghetti punctuates his verse with internal rhymes and clinking alliterations, and infuses it with worn-out statements from the world of fashion and celebrity: «That was his job and his calling / to be a body, for exhibition, TV material.» (Pierre Lepori, trans. by Andrea Willfratt)
