Description

In Extremis ist ein existenzieller Roman und gleichzeitig einer der lustigsten, der über Tod und Familie geschrieben wurde. Thomas weiß, dass es etwas gibt, was er seiner Mutter noch sagen muss, bevor sie stirbt. Aber wird er das rechtzeitig schaffen? Und wird er den Mut haben zu sagen, was er vorher nicht sagen konnte? Sein Telefon brummt, in seinem Kopf dreht sich alles und er kann sich nicht darauf konzentrieren, was gerade passiert und worauf es ankommt. Soll er versuchen, den Familienkonflikt zu lösen, in dem sich sein Freund gerade befindet? Sollte er die Trennung von seiner Frau nochmal überdenken? Warum ist er so ungeheuer verwirrt, ja geradezu paralysiert? In diesem überaus anregenden Roman erkundet Tim Parks, wie tief unsere Identität in unserer familiären Vergangenheit wurzelt. Können wir das jemals wirklich ändern?
