For Das Narr #34, we dive into the peculiar world of animals, exploring the relationships we have with them—whether they're our relatives, our enemies, or those we exploit. From the misunderstood dolphin to the tragic fate of a goldfish, the issue features stories that blend humour and insight, with tales of bat traps, dinosaur dating, and the lyrical observation of birds. This edition reflects on our connection to the animal kingdom and ultimately, ourselves. The issue features texts by Gloria Ballhause, Joel Bedetti, Michael Tulio Bühler, Jette Jantine Clasen, Maya Cyrus, Nina Heller, Christoph Laible, Anina La Roche, Andreas Lehmann, Jakob Leiner, Nick Lüthi, Lou Meili, Marie-Louise Monrad Møller, Jana Carina Niedert, Elisabeth Pape, Gianna Rovere, Paula Schneider, Stefanie Schweizer, and Jessica Ullrich.
