Adolf Muschg's stories are love stories, but not merely the ebb and flow of emotions, the acknowledgment of presence or absence. Adolf Muschg writes life stories, and within them, love is hidden, either as a garnet or as a heap of misery, as an unattainable treasure or as something that has become pitiful and needs care. Adolf Muschg places the whole picture at the center: the people, the history, the stories of life, illness, and even death. Because everything is part of it.
