After his last novel "Geography of Desire," with which Jürg Federspiel successfully refuted the widespread opinion that successful erotic literature is hardly to be found in the German-speaking world, this writer, who lives between Zurich and New York, presents new stories. In Jürg Federspiel's artfully concise stories, the unreal and unheard-of always breaks into seemingly fixed orders and reveals itself grotesque and bizarre in its prose inspired by a dramaturgy of coincidence. In the strange of existential madness, Jürg Federspiel is on the trail of the memorable - and in life as in love, of unnoticed death.
