Writers have been killing themselves for centuries. From Petronius in ancient Rome to the 20th Century Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima, writers, more than any other kind of artist, have taken their own lives in an extraordinary number of ways. With bullets, poison, drugs and swords, poets, playwrights, novelists and philosophers have sent themselves off into the big sleep. Others, one step shy of that last exit, have made great literature about the urge to self-destruction. Autorid: Gary Lachman

During the Spanish Civil War, the River Jarama was the scene of a bloody, month-long battle, which ended in a stalemate. The Republicans suffered about 25,000 casualties and the Nationalists 20,000. In the novel, set nearly twenty years later, the Jarama has become a favourite picnic spot for those wanting to escape the Madrid heat. The novel describes one boiling hot day in August. Various groups of people from Madrid - young and old, married and single - have gone down to the River Jarama to swim and to picnic. During the course of the day, they talk, flirt, get drunk, argue and, mostly, make their peace, and the novel carries the reader effortlessly from conversation to conversation, allowing us to eavesdrop on the characters' very ordinary and profoundly recognisable lives.

Wenn man alten Fotografien glauben darf, dann war Susi Wyss (geb. 1938) ein Engel in Satin, aber der Blick aus ihren dunkel umrandeten Augen erzählt eine andere Geschichte. Susis reich illustrierte Memoiren, Guess Who Is the Happiest Girl in Town, sind der Stoff, aus dem andernorts die Träume sind. Nach dem Besuch der Zürcher Modeschule lernt Susi in Saint-Tropez ein aristokratisches Paar kennen, das sie in die Welt des europäischen Jet-Sets einführte. Mag sein, dass der ganze Rummel um das «süsse Leben» irgendwann abgeschmackt wirkt, aber einst war es so aufregend und empörend, wie Susi sich darin bewegte, dass KünstlerInnen wie die Schweizerin Manon mit ihr zusammenarbeiteten oder Fotografen wie June (alias Alice Springs) und Helmut Newton sie in Büchern und Magazinen als sexuell befreite, feministische Vorkämpferin verewigten. In ihre Wohnung lud sie zu extravaganten Dinnerpartys, an denen Tout-Paris verkehrte. Neben vorzüglichem Essen standen auch «Haschisch, LSD, Meskalin, Kokain, Liebe zu dritt, Sado-Maso und Massagen im kleinen Pool auf der Dachterrasse auf dem Menu», so Susi. Zu ihren Freundinnen und Freunden gehörten damals Paul Getty, Baron Eric de Rothschild, Kenneth Anger, Iggy Pop, der Beatnik Brion Gysin, Dennis Hopper oder der Modeillustrator Antonio Lopez. Erst mit Mitte dreissig machte Susi Wyss ihren Lebensstil auch zu Geld und arbeitete als Call-Girl, zu deren illustrem Kundenkreis Grössen aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Kunst gehörten. Schon nach kurzer Zeit war sie mit dem Befriedigen der Nachfrage überfordert und rekrutierte weitere schöne Mädchen. Im Nu war Susi eine weltweit bekannte «Madame» geworden. In Guess Who Is the Happiest Girl in Town eröffnet sich dann auch die gleichsam dunklere Seite ein und derselben Medaille: der Verlust der Jugend, Todesfälle und der Zeitpunkt, ab dem Drogen und Alkohol nicht mehr nur Spass machten. Mit vierzig beendete sie schliesslich ihre Call-Girl- Karriere und begann mit einem Bericht über ihr Leben. «Wenn Xaviera Hollander [ein niederländisches Ex- Pornostarlet, ...] ein Sexbuch schreiben konnte, warum nicht auch ich?» So verhält es sich auch mit Susis sinnlich slapstikhaften Erzählungen: Wenn sie einen nicht direkt ins Herz treffen, dann viel tiefer, unter die Gürtellinie.
