Mr Turin has a poetic code name for his illness: multiple sclerosis. He lives in a care home, has depended on a wheelchair for years and longs for assisted dying. But it is not that simple, and life still has something to offer. Turin is reflective and cynical, invents clever thought games, imagines conversations with his dead tomcat, drinks a good deal and can be quite unbearable. Struck-through and blacked-out words, and passages set in two columns that run what is said beside what is thought, follow him and the people around him.
