Summary

Adelheid Duvanel: Like my mother's hat: short stories

From the cover:

"It is constantly said that literature is for the elites. Ordinary people, the poor and people on the fringes of society do not get to speak. That this reproach is not universally correct is proven by the work of the Basel author Adelheid Duvanel.
The heroes and heroines of her, mostly very short, extremely condensed stories are Wendelin, a pickpocket ("Česalj"), or a confused old woman who lives in some kind of unfinished building ("The First Concrete Church in Europe"), often children or young people. Everyone is lonely. Roland and Annie ("Meeting") take the bus to work every day and tell each other sentences about the weather. Both almost suffocate in their capsules, and yet they don't find a way to each other.
Adelheid Duvanel's stories bring to light life in the shadow of images of rise, success and happiness that are bombarded by the media, and surround the characters with dignity - like a halo. They reveal the inner world of the protagonist "which is bigger than the outer one" ("Scarf"). At the same time, the texts should not be understood as social-realistic images of moments, they are too artistic and precisely composed for that. Whoever reads Duvanel has to venture into a world with a kind of laws. A world that is ablaze with dark, surreal poetry. With a sovereign movement, the writer's voice immediately creates atmosphere, colors, temperature in the first sentences: "Autumn" - this is how "The First Concrete Church in Europe" begins - "lays its hands of light on the houses, as if it wants to warm the cold walls, but the hands of light are also cold." In their fragmentary dream logic, these stories resemble some early versions of those more mysterious Grimm's fairy tales. And like the best fairy tales, Adelheid Duvanel's stories can be read over and over again without ever finding a trace of their secret. This is because, unlike the playful child from the story "Georg", no one will show us how to remove the lid: "He looked like a child who was playing with a closed box and was satisfied, but after they showed him that the lid could be removed, he would cry because he could not put it back on."
