Antigone Blässhuhn Alphabet so nebenher

The coot: it disappears, reappears at an unexpected place and time, as does Antigone, as a volatile figure, question, projection surface. As a rebellious little girl, she carries, according to the etymology of her name, an "against" within her as well as "birth" and "descent", traces family ties and crosses literary fields. An organising principle from A to Z sets out the deceptively clear framework for prose miniatures, poems, notations and lists, theses or things found in newspapers about Affoltern and Baden, the local coordinates of a texture permeable to reflection, theory and the dreamlike as well as the concrete-social. The discontinuous, wild and chaotic nature of the phenomena, observations and thoughts breaks through the fragile alphabetical grid - expressed with virtuosity by the author in ever new formal inventions that derive their quality precisely from the apperception of leaps, interruptions and contamination. Antigone Blässhuhn Alphabet so nebenher is an aesthetically and politically explosive book: a shimmering document of self-positioning and a precise model of calculated transgression.
