Fleur Jaeggy erhält den Schweizer Grand Prix Literatur 2025 - Buchpreis - Lesering.de

Die Schweizer Literatur ehrt eine ihrer eigenwilligsten Stimmen: Die italienischsprachige Schriftstellerin Fleur Jaeggy wird mit dem Schweizer Grand Prix Literatur ausgezeichnet. Die Jury würdigt damit ein Gesamtwerk, das sich mit kühler, fast asketischer Prosa in die tiefsten Abgründe der menschlichen Existenz wagt.

I don’t read a lot of fiction but an author I had never heard of popped up in my feed today – Fleur Jaeggy. Her work sounds incredible. She’s been described as a master of hyper-brevity.

Years later the bigot Agnes Blannbekin, on the 1st of January, again and again turns in her mouth, tender as egg-skin and very sweet, Christ’s foreskin.

I Am the Brother of XX

Just ordered this collection of short stories from Abe Books. Can’t wait!

Fleur Jaeggy is often noted for her terse and telegraphic style, which somehow brews up a profound paradox that seems bent on haunting the reader: despite a sort of zero-at-the-bone baseline, her fiction is weirdly also incredibly moving. How does she do it? No one knows. But here, in her newest collection, I Am the Brother of XX, she does it again. Like a magician or a master criminal, who can say how she gets away with it, but whether the stories involve famous writers (Calvino, Ingeborg Bachmann, Joseph Brodsky) or baronesses or 13th-century visionaries or tormented siblings bred up in elite Swiss boarding schools, they somehow steal your heart. And they don’t rest at that, but endlessly disturb your mind.

Rita's review of Felizes anos de castigo

3/5: No Appenzell, é impossível não dar passeios. Se olharmos para as pequenas janelas debruadas de branco e para as flores buliçosas e incandescentes nos peitoris, percebemos uma estagnação tropical, um luxuriar refreado, temos a impressão de que dentro acontece alguma coisa de serenamente turvo e um pouco doentio. Uma Arcádia da doença. Estamos no colégio interno Bausler Institut, seguindo os passos das alunas que, dia após dia, se aproximam da tão desejada liberdade e caminham em direcção à idade adulta. O cenário parece idílico, mas o enredo oferece muito pouco. Li e compreendi, mas falta-l...

Incunabulando ao fim do dia.
