Dominic Oppliger
giftland

In his opinionated and poetic novel giftland (Poison Land), Dominic Oppliger sends a Swiss band on tour in America: endless streets, vast landscapes, rock ‘n’ roll diners, clubs and motels – and in the middle of it all is drummer Sämi, who gets caught up in the loops of his near and distant past – and perfects the art of smoking cigarettes backwards.

A rousing search for meaning full of longing, humour and hope, a literary road movie in Swiss German, a sound that stays in your ears for a long time.
