Came across this 2025 book in a Bregenz book store, Brunner, last summer while visiting the Austrian alps, and later looked for it online.

Set in an ancient convent in a small deserted Italian village, and narrated by what appears to be a renaissance literary style all knowing voice. After a few chapters it becomes more apparent who the narrator is. Took me a bit to get into, because of that narrator, but then enjoyed it. Some nice ideas, funny at times, and entertaining.
Horváth is an Austrian writer, and this seems to be his third novel.

Read in German through the Kobo plus subscription.
