Lukas Bärfuss attacks mother myth in new essay
Swiss writer Lukas Bärfuss has published a scathing essay in which he calls his mother a "dumme, egoistische, verräterische, hurerische Schlampe" (stupid, selfish, treacherous, whoring slut). However, his anger is directed not at her personally but at the myth of the mother figure, social coldness, and Switzerland. The essay appears in the context of a broader discussion about retreat and insecure masculinity, as referenced in the title quoting Tom Kummer. The piece was published in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) on an unspecified date.
