Reading tip

Dorothee Elmiger, Invitation to the Bold of Heart: Born in 1985, Dorothee Elmiger makes a fascinatingly fearless debut as a novelist. «Einladung an die Waghalsigen» (Invitation to the Bold of Heart) explores paths that lie far away from the mainstream and develops a poetic pertinacity. Margarete Stein is sitting at her kitchen table reading – and reading. She lives right above the police station which is headed by her father who is a police commander. The mother ran away long ago. She reads and her sister Fritzi wanders about the area. Together they search for a mysterious river called Buenaventura. In an attempt to write a chronicle the sisters jot down everything they observe, explore, hope, wish for. In her «novel» Dorothee Elmiger does not arrange all these explorations into a closed frame, rather, she presents them in the form of singular particles and fragments that oscillate between close observation, inner perception and read up quotations. There is a certain unrest spinning inside her text, an unrest that reflects the quest for one’s own wishes and for a purpose in life. Elmiger’s poetic novel is like a intensely smouldering fire that cannot be controlled. Its musical and linguistic structure reveals a certain obstinacy and poetic audacity. All this makes the book a surprising debut and an invitation to curiosity. (Beat Mazenauer, transl. by Anja Hälg)

Doris Lecher, Ich will Wurst: Timmy Tigerchild is one of those children who can provoke chaos because they plonk themselves down in the middle of the street and scream when they do not get what they want. What clamour is raised when Mum forgets Timmy’s sausage for the picnic! But the tantrum is to no avail. Neither Mum nor Dad will turn around. Instead, they hand Timmy the key to the flat and challenge him to get the sausage himself. And because Timmy does not want his siblings to think that he lacks the courage, he sets out for home.
