Hugo Loetscher
Der Waschküchenschlüssel

English Title: The Laundry Room Key

A Laundry Room Key or lists of expressions for the word ›to work‹, the eighth deadly sin or a Swiss girl by the sea are all treated by Hugo Loetscher as inspiration for stories like the ones in this collection. What holds these critical and amusing ponderings together is a Helvetic theme, displaying a predilection for individuality and balance. But Hugo Loetscher always breaks the boundaries of these Swiss themes with the natural cosmopolitanism that distinguishes him as an author – whether he’s writing about his experiences at the post office counter or posing the question: What if God were Swiss? In these commentaries on Switzerland, Loetscher shows himself to be a committed satirist who has mastered the art of opening the gates to the Swiss soul.
