A highly topical novel about the state of the world. Andreas Ban is a psychoanalyst who no longer analyses and a writer who no longer writes. A real intellectual whose world has been continuously decaying for years and that consists only of memories, of friends and lovers, but also of the horrors of the 20th century. A parable about the pitfalls of ageing in our merciless modern world and a true hero of our time: a forgotten, outcast intellectual who tries to live and think in a society that preaches eternal youth and suppresses critical thought.
