Any one know of any good authors from Switzerland?

It seems a country with 3 different official languages would have a bit of a unique look on life.

Or are they too busy making chocolate, cheese, and watches to write good literature?

Three languages for the nation, but the people themselves know their first language and English.

We don't speak all three national languages.
