Michael Maar
Zora del Buono was eight months old when her father died in a car accident in 1963.
The dead father was the big void in the family. Mother and daughter barely spoke about him. When her mother did mention him, her daughter would break off the conversation, her heart pounding. She couldn't bear her mother's pain. Now that she is sixty, she asks herself: What has become of the then 28-year-old E.T. who caused the accident? How has he lived with this guilt for the last sixty years?
"Because of Him" is the novel of a search: the narrator sets out in search of E.T. to confront him with the history of her family. Her search leads her into dark, abysmal places where she finds answers that raise new questions. What does it do to her that she suddenly knows more about him, the man who drove her father to his death, than about her father himself? And how can you heal when a void will always remain?
How can someone who is missing still shape a life? The much too early accidental death of a father - and what it meant for the daughter's life The new book by Zora del Buono based on the bestseller "Die Marschallin" Contemporary history told as a family story A novel of research: detailed, cleverly composed, as precise as it is poetic For readers of Monika Helfer, Annie Ernaux and Tove Ditlevsen
"A brilliant narrative architect."
