Lukas Zbinden leans on the arm of Kâzim, as they walk slowly down the stairway towards the door of his old people’s home. Step by step, the irrepressible Lukas recounts the life he shared with his wife Emilie and his son. Different in so many ways, what was the secret of their life-long love? And why is it so hard for him to talk to his son?
Gradually we get to know a man with a twinkle in his eye and learn his captivating story. Zbinden’s Progress is heart-rending, heart-warming and hilarious.
'With Zbinden's Progress, Christoph Simon has produced a wonderful, heart-rending, beautiful book; multi-layered, witty and moving.' Buchkultur ------ 'Simon's fifth novel is a polished gem, with insight and perception that know no cultural bounds.' Neue Zurcher Zeitung
