“During the day the cicadas sang, at night the fireflies lit up all over the sunny slope” – Italy in the late 1990s, a remote stone house in the middle of an old vineyard. Alex Capus lives there and is writing his first novel. He also often goes to a smoky village bar; his hours there are his only contact with the outside world. This life situation forms the basis for an autobiographical story that is about the beauty of everyday life, secrets of relaxation and letting go.
This is how pages full of warmth and lightness emerge, the pages of Alex Capus’ new book “The Little House on the Sunny Slope”. At the invitation of the Glockenbach bookstore, the renowned Swiss author comes to Munich and talks about the cosmos between working on his “lime green Hermes Baby” and Pierluigi’s “normal” pub.
