Bundi became known to a wider audience with his 2011 novella Emilie's Silence (German: Emilies Schweigen), in which Emilie T., a nurse accused of killing more than 70 patients, does not speak a word during the entire trial. Instead, her young public defender, David Moor, speaks, and through his strategy of in dubio pro reo he achieves an acquittal despite being convinced of Emilie's guilt. The story received positive reviews outside Switzerland as well.[5]
In January 2021, Bundi's dystopian novel The Last Colony (German: Die letzte Kolonie) was published, in which he tells the story of the last human colony living underground in a state of twilight.[6]
Since 2001, Bundi has worked as a writer and as the editor of the edition of Klaus Merz's works at Haymon Verlag[de].[3][7] At Wolfbach Verlag[de], he edited the poetry series "The Row" (German: Die Reihe) since 2010, in which at least four titles were published each year.[8]
