Kassers first work is a fascinating documentation about the act of giving birth to a poet-to-be.
In the form of a fresh imaginative journal it describes the curse of the writer who renounces the material world in
order to enter the realm of art and fiction, the world of "Kukaburu".

James-Story
Klassische Novelle.
© 1995, Heinrich Verlag & Vertrieb,

DM/SFr.29.80
The aging book-keeper James has but one fervent desire: to emulate his idol Beethoven...
In this tight, accomplished portrait, modelled with light and precise strokes, Kasser paints a moving narrative
here that immediately enthrals the reader through both, its brilliantly mirrored
psychological deepness as well
as the pictorial directness of its sharp, clear observation.
