Luther kutyái

The most personal story its author has told: a dramatic victory over a deadly illness, a brain tumour. Its subjects are the body, which can fail us suddenly and completely and then cling to life against the odds; lost consciousness and time that cannot be felt; the impossibility and yet the miracle of recovery. It is also about the painful break-up of one family and the building of a new one, and about the family past, the fates of parents and grandparents, the traumas of the twentieth century, wars, poverty and ways of surviving, told in short, restrained lines.
