Summary

A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations.
Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat.
In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.

    PREPARE TO BE BEAKED BY THE MAJESTIC EAGLE OF HISTORY 
     
      
     
    Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O'Brien, author of Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is: one long, violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that: 
     
      
      
    ● Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest 
     
     
     
    ● Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures. 
     
     
     
    ● Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks. 
     
     
     
    ● Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon. 
     
     
      
    And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.
