Small World
Small World | Martin Suter, Suter
1 post | 6 read | 1 to read
The moving story of a man, drawn back into his past by an illness that robs him of his sense of the present. Konrad Lang, a man in his sixties, is hunted by images of his early childhood, while he forgets his immediate past. The fading gentleman is pulled back towards the villa of his adoptive family, the Kochs. Konrad grew up with Thomas Koch, the rich and spoiled heir to the family's fortune. He was Thomas's playmate and increasingly became the family's whipping-boy and now the Kochs don't want to know. Except for Elvira Senn, the all-powerful matriarch, who becomes increasingly worried by Konrad's flashbacks. Simone, the newcomer to the family, takes pity on Konrad and threatens to uncover secrets the family would like to see hidden forever.

Didn‘t know that this was Martin Suter‘s first novel, it‘s from 1997 and part of his “neurological trilogy” (of which I read and loved the 2nd instalment “The dark Side of the Moon”).

Was on my sub for long but I already sensed yesterday that I ain‘t in the mood for it. I already didn‘t understand the very beginning where a cable car is running through a villa on page 3. 🤷🏽‍♀️ So I put it away. Maybe I try again when I run into the audiobook.
