Wozu wir da sind. Walter Wemuts Handreichungen für ein gelungenes Leben

For thirty years, Walter Wemut has been writing obituaries. Now he is to give a birthday speech - about a life well-lived. Wemut lets his thoughts wander, reflecting on friends and acquaintances. He thinks of the classmate who failed at life too young, and the sports buddy he lost touch with and found again in times of need, without a home or job. When is a life considered successful, and when is it not? Who decides that? How can one be happy if they have no luck? With his trained eye, honed by hundreds of life stories, Wemut illuminates the many life paths he has encountered, consults literature, ponders deeply, and weaves it all into a furious monologue.
