Stefan Schwarz - Best Of

READING
STEFAN SCHWARZ
BEST OF

When Stefan Schwarz receives a cancer diagnosis in his mid-fifties, he feels almost relieved. The self-confessed hypochondriac no longer has to fear getting it. Schwarz knows a thing or two about existential upheaval, and as a man of comedy and self-deprecation, this book takes him not only through the strange worlds of oncological treatment, but also to the darker side of his own life - to examine the compulsions and setbacks that gave rise to his sense of humour.

It is a book of clear-eyed calm about the things that matter in life, and a guide for others in similar circumstances - written by a storyteller who must tell himself a new story to find the strength to lead himself, and above all his family, into a "healthier" world.
