Pedro Lenz und Simon Ho

Description

About the Book With the goalie, he brought us close to an anti-hero, with Primitivo a simple worker. Now Pedro Lenz tells the life of a hero. Diego Maradona, a hero? Yes, because heroes are not superhumans, they remain human in their outstanding abilities as well as in their devastating weaknesses. With "linggs" he touches us because the author lets his hero tell the story as he played: «Si Rhythmus, sini Pouse, / sini unerwartete Tämpowächsle, [...] hei d Mönsche verzouberet.» In lyrical top form, this Diego expresses his passion: «Der Bau, der Bau / het mer gchläbt am Fuess, / i ha mi düredribblet, / dür jedi Abwehrreihe, / ha mi düretänzlet, / der Bau am Fuess, / der Bau am Fuess, / der Bau am Fuess». In restrained objectivity, he admits his failure: «Ds wisse Puder / isch mini Begleitig worde, / ds Kokain het mer gseit, / wos düre geit.» Thus, "Mit linggs" is a hero's song of our time, in which success and failure, winning and losing balance each other. What remains? «Fründe sit soguet, / dänket a Diego / und näht der Bau uf.» About the Author Pedro Lenz lives as a freelance author and columnist in Olten.
