After his debut work "Und immer wieder leben," Alexander Jehle publishes his second book "TrotzDem" with Bucher Verlag. "TrotzDem" is a critical yet positive and life-affirming exploration of the self, its position in the world, and its relationship with the unfathomable. Jehle's empathetic descriptions clearly articulate the themes while leaving enough space for the reader's own perspectives, providing playful clarity that conjures images and feelings, making the read vividly tangible in the mind's eye. As in his first volume, the author skillfully blends fantasy and reality, the tangible and the intangible, through delicate and nuanced wordplay and imagery.
