Suppe Seife Seelenheil

The man is composed. After escaping from the police in Belgrade, he wanders through the Serbian countryside in handcuffs. Will this end well? At the Swiss embassy in Sarajevo, the disheveled man is nursed back to health and subsequently repatriated. Back in Switzerland, his escape is scrutinized. In his third novel, Matto Kämpf lovingly yet ruthlessly dissects the life plan of a middle-aged man who is despairing of the world and himself. Kämpf's remarkable artistry is once again evident in how he casually raises profound existential questions with exuberant humor.
