Reviews
"The novels of Markus Werner are so difficult because they are so thorough, not by being long, but by being solid, crystal, not foam. The fullness and complexity of the characters. The range of emotion. The brightness and variety of language. It's an intensity of reading experience I've never quite had." -- Sarah Trudgeon, The Review of Contemporary Fiction "Brilliantly translated by [Michael] Hofmann, who provides an illuminating introduction, this sly and strange father-son dialogue deserves to be a cult classic." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Markus Werner is a wonderful writer." --Peter Stamm, "The novels of Markus Werner are so difficult because they are so thorough, not by being long, but by being solid, crystal, not foam.

Synopsis
A bracing and darkly comic novel about a disgraced priest who finds himself haunted by his dead and disapproving father, this little-known classic of Swiss literature is impossible to forget. In a small town in Switzerland, Franz-ex-clergyman, ex-husband, current counselor of locals at loose ends-is being haunted by his recently deceased father, Klement. In life, Franz was caught cheating on his wife and defrocked, after which Klement never spoke to him again. In death, Klement visits his son in the form of a frog in the throat, choking him, yes, but also giving voice to an old dairy farmer devoted to the old ways, forever railing against his son and the whole modern mess he represents. The same can be said of this novel, in which these two voices clash, harmonize, and ultimately offer up all the mutual recognition and incomprehension that is family life. A miniature tragicomic masterpiece, Markus Werner's second novel is as bursting with life as a Dickens novel- not only Franz's high-strung shenanigans and the father's settled life among the cattle, but the lives of his sister and brother and the land all around. As in all of Werner's work, the world looks grim ("I sit around, I drink, I brood, I pat myself down for flaws and find many and each evening I say- Starting tomorrow I'm going to get a grip on myself") but never less than comic-a view captured marvelously in Michael Hofmann's vivid translation., A bracing and darkly comic novel about a disgraced priest who finds himself haunted by his dead and disapproving father, this little-known classic of Swiss literature is impossible to forget.
