Reading tip

Felix Philipp Ingold, Gegengabe: Felix Philipp Ingold is author, translator and literary scholar all in one with a respectable body of work in all of these disciplines. His opulent volume «Gegengabe» (A Gift in Return) testifies this. In this book, Ingold appears as both a passionate and critical worker of words. He reflects on the craft of literature, on readings and he shares excerpts of his poetic creations. In long essays about Samuel Becket, about the «treason» of translation or about poetic «language design» he reveals himself as being a precise analyst for whom reading-writing-thinking forms an indivisible entity. One does not need to agree with him all the time, his arguments call for respect even where they provoke objection. Ingold’s unconditional preference is Classic Modernism. Between essays, poems and aphorisms the reader also gets a glimpse of more personal aspects in the form of dream scenes or walks around the quaint area of his residence in Romainmôtier. «Gegengabe» is an opalescent, stimulating and personal book of many forms. Page after page it awaits with poems, essayistic observations and remarkable anecdotes, thereby developing a strict poetic in which we can recognise the author himself. (Beat Mazenauer, transl. by Anja Hälg) See the full german version on .

Ursula Fricker, Ausser sich: It happened on a drive to the countryside, to Mecklenburg. Katja and Sebastian, a couple of Berlin architects, were on a longplanned outing to visit friends for the weekend. Katja was behind the wheel. They had recently been wondering whether they wanted to have a child in their forties – but suddenly things take a different turn.

Reading tip

Thilo Krause, Und das ist alles genug: In short aperçus and longer cycles, simple words strung together rhythmically conjure up atmospheres and nuances of domesticity, of the everyday, of urban and rural spaces, of animate and inanimate nature. Chiselled compositions, luminous details from the present and past of the author’s Saxon origin open up country- and epoch-spanning perspectives. This debut volume convinces through its variety of motives and forms as well as a well-composed whole. (Federal jury of literature, trans. by Simon Froehling)
