Treaties with the EU were annulled (..) and the Swiss borders were reinforced with ten of thousands of km of new rolls of barbed wire (..) and then a medium-sized scandal in the press was caused by claiming that Greek and Portuguese Communists had sold the Israelis over 300000 live human organs.

And finally the château in Morges on Lake Geneva,where he had died.(..) The collection of hundreds of diaphanous Chinese teacups he'd amassed over decades,like Chatwin's Kaspar Utz, who suffered from that incurable porcelain sickness.But why all this?I knew from the moment I guessed what it was all worth (..)that my childwood and youth were permeated by arrogance and hyperbole and fraud and degradation,by dead money.

She's always told me, my mother, that she could no longer swim in the Lake Zurich, even since Margie J, her best friend, had employed the Swiss company Exit for her suicide and decreed that her ashes then be strewn over the clear, pleasant waters of the lake. My mother had said she'd swallow a bit of lake water by accident while swimming, and then she'd be drinking Margie and that was a ghastly notion to her.

People visiting Zurich tended to think that the spirit of Joyce or of Cabaret Voltaire would waft about them, but in reality, ir was merely a city of moneygrubbing middle management and depressing hustlers and reserve liutenants.

I’d better hurry up and get to this book, Paula, before Kracht has a chance to wreck Switzerland’s (hitherto amiable) relations with Greece, Portugal, and Israel!

But you'll be happy to know that in this little dystopia the narrator created to amuse his elderly mother "Coop and Migros supermarkets were ordered not to carry tofu (..) just Swiss cheeses," I hope Migros cheeses are way better than their chocolate bars though, as I've never been so let down by Swiss chocolate in my life. :-)
