Nebelflüchtige

Description

EXPERIENCE | READING «Nebelflüchtige» by Flurina Badel is one of the most acclaimed novel debuts of recent years: Aita left her homeland in Unterengadin after graduating from high school and found a new life in Vienna, the "capital on the Inn," as Johannes calls it for her sake. After all, the Inn in Passau, where it merges with the Danube, is the wider of the two rivers. Only after the unexpected death of her mother does Aita return to her hometown, but it is no longer the home of her childhood. The old Engadine houses are sold one by one to the highest bidder. The luxury real estate market is booming, and Aita's brothers also want to profit from it. Aita can only watch sadly as her old school friend Luis, who has taken over the village shop, becomes increasingly desperate in his search for strategies to resist the commercialization of nature and local traditions. Nebelflüchtige is a multi-voiced, poetic, and gripping novel about the clash of today's worlds. Flurina Badel, born in Lavin in 1983, is a polyglot writer and artist. After training as a journalist, she completed her Master of Fine Arts in Basel and studied at the Institute for Language Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Her first poetry collection tinnitus tropic was awarded a Swiss Literature Prize in 2020, and her first novel Tschiera received the Bündner Literature Prize in 2025. She lives in Ftan.
