The King of Olten has become a bestseller. Over 25,000 copies have been sold across Switzerland. "As a narrative flâneur, he pays a worthy tribute to his adopted home," wrote Schweizer Illustrierte. And NZZ am Sonntag notes about Alex Capus: "The people of Olten can be proud of him." Now the great storyteller presents more columns. He writes about "his" pub, the "Flügelrad." He recounts the time when Princess Stéphanie of Monaco enjoyed herself in a tiger bikini at the Olten swimming pool. He writes about the Golden Roof of Olten, which keeps politics on its toes. And he builds golden bridges and retirement homes. Capus talks to his five neighbors, all named Urs. He is furious about the damn beaver that felled the second-to-last tree on the small Aare island. Whether it's cemeteries, parking garages, or Martin Disteli – Capus’ stories take place everywhere: in Olten, Zurich, Berlin, Chur, or elsewhere. "In this way, he turns Olten into a world, transforms an observation into a philosophical reflection, and creates a small gem in prose from two pages," writes Tages Anzeiger. The book fits perfectly into the popular Pearl series.
