Hat die Gruppe verlassen

Bänz Friedli has left the group – a fundamental feeling that has to do with getting older, perhaps also with the pandemic and the increasing solitude. In any case, it is liberating not to have to belong anymore. However, it also obliges one to form one's own opinions. Friedli does this, as an unbiased observer and an independent thinker. When he describes seemingly inconspicuous things, when he advocates for women's football or calls for entertainment with integrity: for morality.

Whether it's column-like miniatures from everyday life or essays on society and politics – it is always a narrative that connects the seemingly small with the larger whole, and he always questions himself as well. And just as he remains a storyteller as a cabaret artist, he is also witty as an author.

A small reading book that invites reflection. And to occasional silence.
