As long as it's going, it's going well

With his first three story collections and the novel "Alpefisch," Andreas Neeser has positioned himself at the forefront of Swiss dialect literature. The stories in this volume set new standards once again. The Aargau dialect in "Solangs no goht, chunnts guet" is not only powerful in its language, precise, and vivid, but also refreshingly contemporary – and Neeser employs narrative techniques that provide us with deep insights into the experiences of his diverse characters. They grapple with significant, timeless issues that concern us all. The author always manages, effortlessly and often with a wink, to infect us with his love for these complex, intriguing characters. Perhaps this works so well because they are closer to us in their difficult life situations and emotional struggles than we might think. But what applies to them, we can also remind ourselves: "As long as it goes on, it will be fine.".
