Beim Hute meiner Mutter

Adelheid Duvanel, one of Switzerland’s most important authors, has been rediscovered. In this volume, published by the Nagel & Kimche collection, Peter von Matt brings together her most impressive stories, some of which are appearing in book form for the first time. These prose miniatures exert an irresistible and uncanny pull – ‘they read easily and entertainingly, but they come from the darkest present’ (Peter von Matt).
