Here they are: the stories of a small village shop somewhere in Switzerland, where the world is still somewhat intact, where people still know what is right and wrong, what is normal and what is out of place. The village shop stories address current topics. Whether they are true or not is left to the reader's imagination by the author. However, they are not recommended for imitation. The book, which contains 101 short stories, is extraordinarily lively. The author excels in describing human characters. The malice of the shopkeeper is palpable, and the behavior of the customers is relatable. Or to put it in the writer's words: "Those who feel affected might just be...!" The short stories by Urs Jenni are for chuckling, relaxing, reflecting, and having fun. This book belongs in every travel bag!.
