About the author

What is your connection to Basel?
I grew up in Birsfelden (Blätzbums), which in principle belongs to Basel. But I have been living in Basel for more than 10 years and I feel totally at home here.
How did you get the idea for the book?
When speaking to friends at home and abroad I sometimes made "funny" comments about what a real Bebbi should definitely do or know. For example, you should never say mask, because it is a "Larve". You must also swim in the Rhine at least once in your life. These funny conversations turned into a book in early 2020.
