Giorgio Voghera … is the second part of the Cafe Central Trilogy by author Elias Schneitter. While each volume stands alone, all three parts revolve around a mysterious Coffee House poet. The reader is never quite sure whether this poet really exists. The narrative does not tell a story in the literal sense but uses notes, snippets and fragments - using the cut up technique - to piece together the biography of this unusual character. The linear narrative style is completely pulled apart, the author’s copyright heavily undermined and challenged. This is the foundation for tackling the topics that shape a biography: love, relationships, everyday life, philosophy, death, literature, art, co-existence… All these subjects are broached in a truly unique style, using headlines, short accounts, anecdotes, lies and platitudes etc. It is an apparently wild and chaotic mix, in which the underlying themes keep on popping up, only to disappear again, as they bow to the next news items .
