Peter D. Kiechl

Peter D. Kiechl explores the darker sides of human nature and the fragility of identities in his works. While his previous books, Zerfall eines Phönix and Dallas-->One Way, helped define the “Thribbler” genre, in Das Kartenhaus he focuses on psychological depth and the question of how trauma continues to haunt generations as destructive demons. Set against the bleak urban backdrop of Zurich, his narrative style remains, throughout, a tribute to the unshakable power of empathy.
