In the second book of Arno Camenisch's Alp trilogy, Behind the Station,
is told through the eyes of two young brothers growing up in a small,
secluded village in a valley flanked by the alpine mountains. Written in
the same style as The Alp, we start to believe that there's little
difference between the children and the adults in this village, save for
their love for mischief and ghost stories. The grandmother, the parents,
and the neighbors: it is an amphitheater full of drama, somehow colored
through the eyes of children. Arno Camenisch's quiet control and
powerful descriptions of village life prove that he is an international
voice to follow.
