註釋"Schwyz. Uri. Unterwalden." is a book-length contemporary essay whose spare fragments transcend the conventions of regional literature as it invites the reader to witness a world both familiar and unexpected. The narrator, a foreigner to Switzerland, performs 21 walking trips through the founding cantons of the country in order to encounter the landscapes hidden beneath the common clichés. With each discovery of a canton, the others are cast in a new light, each chapter remapping the meanings of a mountain, a meadow, a patch of snow. Through extracts of moment by moment experience, the text becomes a self-documentary exploration which traces the contours of belonging and the insufficiency of borders which stay in one place. Zweisprachige Ausgabe Translated from the English by Beatrice Minger Mit einem Nachwort von / With an Afterword by Christian de Simoni
