R. O. Kwon, “The arsonist”Mi 19.30 at the literaturhaus, Limmatquai 62
“With every step he walked on water” is about John Leal. Almost as in the time of Jesus on the sea of Galilee. Leal, former elite student and escape, fled himself on a barely frozen river to China after he escaped the North Koran gulags, and found enlightenment. At least he makes all of the high school students believe that he got after his return to the American Uni-town Noxhurst in a Christian circle itself.
So, too, Phoebe, a celebration of the funny, ever-popular young Korean and Ex-piano virtuoso, has finally retired years ago, on the death of her mother. Initially, your friend Wants, of the poor fellow from Carmenita, at least Free food in the case of Leal, while Phoebe fills in the rituals, their inner Emptiness more and more with his Faith. Idly must Want to see how he can love loses his major to a charlatan. Like Phoebe in the context of its meaning and forgiveness search further and further radicalized. With devastating consequences.
The debut novel by the Korean-born American is both exciting and sobering, because it shows how religious fanaticism and terrorism will also find, or particularly in the case of a well-educated, but disillusioned science elite, fertile ground. (ish)

André Aciman – “the Five Love lang”Di 19.30 at the literaturhaus, Limmatquai 62
From the Italian-American novel template for the much-acclaimed eponymous Film “Call Me By Your Name” (2017), came. It was in the love between a 17-Year-old and a young scientist in Italy in the 80s. Acimans new Roman “Enigma Variations” (“the Five Love lang”) now are of Paul, and of love.
Paul’s known her since he was twelve, but the older he gets, the less he knows, how he should live. In five chapters he tells the story of men and women whom he has unconditionally executed. In the first he remembers Italy, where he tried once, the older Giovanni again. And some people think of “Call Me By Your Name”. (ish)
Tom Combo “Inner Lind”Fr 20 PM lemon, Badenerstr. 849
Do 19.9., 20 At Helsinki, Geroldstr. 35
the Name is music: Tom Combo. Thomas masters, called 1965 born in Winterthur, if he is as a Singer-Songwriter, author and DJ. Also, his second novel, “home Affairs Lind”, is now published in the criminal-Verlag, has shades of a very own sound, some of the phrases, such as wood. And you would like to hear how the Combo reads such passages: “four quarters, breakage, drought, ash, crackling, slashing with sea buckthorn, impact-fir” and so on.
Between these lyrical inserts quite a lot of life (in prose), but. There is the story of Gerda, who says to Patrick: “Hello cripple”. Patrick, who returns to her: “You bitch.” The two were a Couple of times. Separated then. Can’t let go of, but from each other. Not from Winterthur. So it is with the other people that operate in this scene. It is the Winti-Sound. (bu)
