Summary
Dear Hedl: Matija
The book Matija, Hedl's magnum opus, is a tragic story about the loss of his son, a doctor of biochemistry and research associate at the American Yale. Deeply intimate, it is a book of life's revelation and painful questioning of the immense suffering that can only be caused by the loss of an only child, who voluntarily, in search of peace, decided to leave this world at the age of 44. Hedl is tormented by questions for which he knows there are no answers, facing at the same time the death of his son and the struggle to return his body from America to Croatia. In 37 days, from the death in New Haven to the funeral in Osijek, exposing all the callousness of the bureaucracy of the great Yale, Hedl lower memories from Matija's life, snapshots from the earliest childhood to the last days, helping the reader to find his way easier in a manuscript heavy than lead. He does so with the hope that his tragic experience could contribute to de-tabooing suicide and help families who have gone through it.
