Martin Suter Returns to Italian Publishing Scene

Swiss German-language writer Martin Suter has reappeared on the Italian literary scene after publishing with both Sellerio and Feltrinelli. His recent works with Sellerio include "Allmen e Weynfeld" (2026), "Melody" (2026), and "Creature luminose" (2025). Earlier Feltrinelli titles include "Un amico perfetto" (2003) and "Com'è piccolo il mondo!" (2000). His play "La scomparsa di Giulia" has been successfully staged, and his novels have been adapted for film: "Un amico perfetto" directed by Girod, and "Lila Lila" directed by Alain Gsoner. Born in Zurich, Suter belongs to a lineage of Swiss German-language writers—including Dürrenmatt, Frisch, and Glauser—who used illicit or unusual events as vehicles for knowledge beyond traditional frameworks. The disruption of equilibrium through mysterious events, he suggests, goes beyond the intrigue of their revelation.
