February 3, 2020. "I won't lie to you," the doctor shrugs. "The metastases are everywhere." What does a person do when they learn they have an incurable disease? Despair? Blame fate? Herman Koch sits down and writes a book. And he takes us through his thoughts and feelings after receiving the diagnosis with a candor that stings our eyes and his usual dry humor that makes us laugh through our tears. "Are You Going to Write a Book About This Too?" is not a melancholic story, but a portrait of a man who refuses to give in to fear and grief. Herman Koch looks back on his life with gentle self-irony and, without us even noticing, convinces us that vulnerability and humor can go hand in hand in the struggle against the inevitable. A captivating, very human, and undoubtedly surprising book that makes us think about childhood, death, and everything that lies between them.
