Book 11 - Henning Mankell "Quicksand"

Henning Mankell "Quicksand : What It Means to Be a Human Being" (Vintage)




This is a beguling of reflections, memories and emotion as the author comes to terms with his illness and reflects on the moments in his life that impacted on world view. A man who is dying can have either a confused mind, or an uncluttered one. His is the latter, and this deceptively simple book is worth the read Very, positive and life affirming, I think it will appeal to all people interested in human nature. The 'meaning of life' inspires us with bitter sweet personal observations. Mankell wrote his own eulogy without equal.
