Behind The Station

Arno Camenisch has found a wonderfully light language for the simultaneity of beauty and horror. Those who read this book with Camenisch's softly singing voice in their ear will discover in the musicality of the language the sensuality of a small world that has expanded. The way the NZZ describes a reading from "Hinter dem Bahnhof" by Arno Camenisch is not only one of many enthusiastic press voices but could also be seen as an invitation to this audiobook. Camenisch is an excellent performer of his texts - among other things in the spoken-word ensemble "Bern ist überall" - but above all, the language of his books is characterized by a sound, a unique rhythm that draws readers into the stories and doesn't let go. This fresh and cheeky approach to language is evident in "Hinter dem Bahnhof.".
