novel

The novel Maiwald about the enigmatic suicide of a renowned psychiatrist is set in the media environment of the years after the turn of the millennium. Flashbacks lead to the protest and occupation scenes of the late sixties and eighties. The book was described by the former editor-in-chief of the Zürichsee-Zeitung Ulrich E. Gut as a “gripping, profound psychodrama and image of society” .
