Der Mikrobiologe Paul Bálint feiert mit ehemaligen Kollegen in Paris seinen 80. Geburtstag. Er wird geehrt und spürt zugleich, dass die Feier auch ein Abschied ist. Er befindet sich, so sein Freund Steinberg, an der Schwelle zwischen dem „jungen Alter“ und dem „alten Alter“ – einer Phase, in der nichts mehr selbstverständlich ist und sich die Vergänglichkeit in allen Dingen bemerkbar macht. Doch statt sich nur mit dem Verlust zu beschäftigen, will Bálint die neue Lebensphase erkunden wie ein unbekanntes Land: Was bedeutet das Alter für den Körper, die Erinnerung, das Gefühl für das Selbst und die Zeit, für das Verhältnis zu den Mitmenschen, den lebenden wie den toten? Je mehr er sich mit dem Alter beschäftigt, desto deutlicher zeigt sich ihm ein Leben voller neuer Möglichkeiten. Es bietet ihm zudem die große Freiheit, sich ohne Rücksicht auf Konventionen und wissenschaftliche Regeln einen eigenen Reim auf die heutige Welt und ihre Veränderung zu machen. Quelle: Klappentext Luchterhand Verlag Die Novelle setzt mit dem Geburtstagsfest für Paul Bálint ein, das jüngere Forscher-Kolleginnen und -Kollegen für die einstige Wissenschafts-Koryphäe ausgerichtet haben. Doch Bálint verspürt eine tiefe Einsamkeit. Er fühle sich «von der Konversation ausgeschlossen»: «Er war kein Teil der Forschungscommunity mehr. In ihrem Kreis gab es ihn lediglich als eine Erinnerung: gut und ehrenwert, doch längst vergangen.» (…) Subitl und bildhaft erzählt Christian Haller aus Paul Bálints Alltag: Wer er in seiner Nachbarschaft zwar als netter älterer Herr gilt, dem man auf der Strasse freundlich zunickt. Für den sich aber keiner mehr interessiert. (…) Kurzum: Bálint muss nicht mehr, er darf. Diese Verschiebung ist die Folge der Endlichkeit, die absehbar geworden ist. Sie schafft neue Relationen. Und Distanz zu vermeintlich wichtigen Zielen, die es lange Zeit pflichtschuldigts zu erreichen galt. Quelle: Felix Münger, SRF Kultur

No slides, no schedule. We're meeting up for a relaxed ZurichJS summer meetup with drinks, barbecue, and people who build things. If you’re shipping an AI tool, a vibe-coded side project, a SaaS product, or an existing app that could use a better business model, bring it along. We’ll hang out, compare notes, and brainstorm how to turn useful software into something that actually makes money. Let's get the bbq going with beers and geeks. Important: this is a potluck edition. Bring your preferred barbecue option (and maybe some extra to share if you want), some picnic blankets or picnic chairs, anything that you'd normally bring to a picnic. We're a big family at the end of the day 🫶 **Agenda** * None whatsoever **👉 [Event page](https://meetup.zurichjs.com/events/june-2026) \| Location Josefwiese** **About the organizers** * **[Bogdan Ilie](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ilie-bogdan/)** is a user advocate.

**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
