The slow days

The slow days it moves between confession and fiction to investigate old age and death. The work focuses on human frailty when age takes over our bodies, in the agony of life as a moment of solitude and defeat, but also as the crowning of our existence. In The slow days the author receives the news of her own father's dementia at the same time as she writes a work about Alzheimer's. Adjustments with the past, fiction and the dream world offer a way out of despair.
