There is no internet and hardly any cell phones. At gas stations you are served by the gas station attendant, in bars billowing clouds of smoke. At this time, in the 1990s, a young man, “no longer a student and not yet a writer,” buys a house in Piedmont, Italy, for little money. In the idyllic place that Alex Capus describes at the beginning of his new book The Little House on the Sunny Hill, the successful Swiss author not only spent summers with friends and his future wife, but also completed his first novel Munzinger Pascha, published in 1997, in cooler seasons. Now, decades later, the house, as a writing workshop and place of happiness, offers starting points for light-hearted reflections on life and literature.
