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 .

Bern ist überall, Im Kairo: Under the name «Berne is everywhere», six authors and two musicians* joined forces to develop a label for fulminant, polyphonic spoken-word performances. Literature does not only belong in books but also onto the stage, is their motto. The first CD, recorded live at Café Kairo in Berne, gives an overview of the variety of voices and text forms the members of «Berne is everywhere» use. Verbal stunts, witty stories of the everyday, punch-lines very much to the point and refrains spoken in chorus chase each other through the programme. Language needs to be spoken out loud, as «language unfolds in one’s mouth,» the group writes in a manifesto. Accordingly, the language spoken in everyday life, i.e. dialect, is the common denominator. Such as when Guy Krneta asks where language comes from and how it how it finds the mouth, or when Beat Sterchi declines empty quotidian phrases to a swirling staccato. «Berne is everywhere» demonstrates splendidly what the spoken-word genre is capable of. Since their first CD, the group has built an astonishing career and has expanded to include French voices. Their musical and poetic performances enjoy astounding popularity. (Beat Mazenauer, translation by Simon Froehling) * Stefanie Grob, Guy Krneta, Pedro Lenz, Gerhard Meister, Michael Stauffer, Beat Sterchi; Adi Blum and Michael Pfeuti.
