Summary
Peter Esterhazy: Diary about the pancreas
"Cancer, that's a good opening word" – Peter Esterhazy introduces the reader to a new life on the first page of his diary. And then, in the silence created by this sentence, he begins to speak: that voice is both familiar and unfamiliar to us, that voice that sometimes reaches us from immeasurable distances, sometimes from close proximity, plays, explores, sniffs, reads, offers prayers to the Most High and, sometimes, almost sings to that other creature that nestles in it. Then it gets dark, and he is listlessly silent. For days. What can be done if the body, which until then was completely at the service of creation, suddenly turns against writing? How does a writer whose every work is based on the inextricability of life and poetry record his days? What happens to "ontological serenity" when terminal illness becomes a daily practice? Can pancreatic cancer be spelled love?
