A guest insult
A young woman lives next to a triangular mountain in a house that is too big. When a guest shows up, she takes him right in. He arouses her curiosity, but also quickly becomes the victim of elaborate fantasies of power. Basel author Ariane Koch took on this primal scene of interpersonal encounters in her debut novel and promptly won numerous awards. Her parable-like story not only tells of our behavior towards strangers, it also paints a wonderfully funny and at the same time profound picture of the Swiss impressionism. With a strong focus on the text, Marie Bues stages the narrative as a polyphonic choral piece: who is imposing themselves on whom here?
