The Naked Swiss: A Nation Behind 10 Myths
Clare O’Dea promises to change the way the world thinks about modern Switzerland – and give Swiss readers much to think about too. In ten chapters O’Dea dismantles the most positive myths of modern Switzerland (The Swiss are Rich/Brilliant/Have the Perfect Democracy) with the same sharp journalistic eye she assesses the negative one (The Swiss are Crooked Bankers/Xenophobic/Helped the Nazis).
Already excerpted in Switzerland’s weekly Die Weltwoche and garnering lavish praise (see below), O’Dea – ten year veteran at Swissinfo, and now Swiss herself – introduces readers to a cast of real Swiss, painting a lively country through many anecdotes. It is a Switzerland of the twenty-first century – a Switzerland of working mothers, banks gone bankrupt, multicultural football teams. It is a book that isn’t afraid to address past shame, present national crises and even the Swiss sex life...
