There is nothing we would rather ignore than the world’s instability. Nonetheless, we are confronted with it on a regular basis. How do we deal with the loss of a loved one? Daniel Schreiber’s latest essay focuses on a key human experience that significantly influences current times and pushes us to our limits like no other: the loss of certainties that, for a long time, appeared incontrovertible. Based on living through his father’s death, Daniel Schreiber talks about a day he spent in foggy Venice and analyses our private and social capacity to grieve while searching for ways to deal with an emotion that often overwhelms us.
»One of the most interesting essayists of our time.«
