If we could finally work out the science of medicine that treats human energy levels and the exact nature of the ‘energy’ that was being treated, the possibilities for improved health were unimaginable.”3

I’ve got to admit, I’ve always had a hard time balancing spirituality and science. The two just seem to clash so much, in my mind. But after reading this one, I feel like I’m able to make much better sense of (and remedy) that conflict.

A living person thinking about death. A dead person talking about life. What’s the point? Neither side understands the other. There are intimations. And there are memories. Both can be deceptive.” Die Energie in einem einzigen Kubikmeter Raum reicht aus, um alle Ozeane der Welt zum Kochen zu bringen. Maar ook de aan kanker overleden Susan Tessler, die in het hospice (sanatorium, schrijft vertaler Liesbeth van Nes) een innige vriendschap beleeft met Henriette (geen achternaam, die wilde ze niet zeggen evenmin als haar leeftijd).

Der Tod kommt wie ein Wind. Er trägt dich fort.« — Eindringlich, melancholisch, leise lauschen wir mit Seethaler den Geschichten der Toten. Ieder stukje is echt van iemand anders lijkt het. Of het nou om de schrijfstijl of de lengte van het stuk gaat, of de strekking. De een vertelt een samenvatting, de andere diept één scene uit, de een reflecteert, de ander probeert lessen over te brengen.
