Die Zeit der Verluste – Mely Kiyak und Daniel Schreiber nehmen Abschied

What remains when your father slips through your fingers? Mr. Kiyak, a fabulous storyteller, gets cancer and wants to die. But he has a daughter - and what a daughter she is: she makes his fate hers and won't let him go. Illness, loss, despair, but also wit as resistance - these are the themes of Mely Kiyak' s ("Frausein") great book Mr. Kiyak thought, now the beautiful part of life begins. Daniel Schreiber ("Alone") also asks himself as clear-sightedly and truthfully as only he can in his new essay The Time of Loss: How can life be lived in the face of rampant loss? He analyzes our private and social ability to grieve and looks for ways to deal with feelings that overwhelm us. "Hardly anyone else writes so sensitively about his and our deepest feelings" (Doris Dörrie). A conversation about staying behind and saying goodbye.
