«Der alte König in seinem Exil» is Arno Geiger's autobiographical account of his father with Alzheimer's, in paperback (dtv, 254 pp., German).
Arno Geiger reconstructs his father's life from the scattered phrases and memories left by Alzheimer's. Accompanying him through the landscapes of his childhood and listening to his strange, poetic comments allows him to rediscover him: a luminous, vivid, and at times comic portrait of a life still worth living.
The large-print edition (Großdruck) dates from May 2014; the work was originally published in 2011 and was nominated for the Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse in the Belletristik category.
Intended for those who prefer large print and for readers interested in Alzheimer's, memory, and the father-son relationship.
Arno Geiger is an Austrian novelist.
