Tom Lanoye
Medium Paperback
Inscription on the front page
After a stroke, an amateur actress and the writer's mother lose her ability to speak. Slowly and irrevocably she declines, less and less able to communicate with who she loves.
Already in his recently published collection of essays Schermutseling Tom Lanoye wrote about her. But he was far from finished with his story. Only in Sprakeloos does he take stock of the whole. That of his colorful childhood, of his struggle with love, of his conflicts with the little mother diva, and finally: of the struggle that she, source of life and mother tongue, manfully fights, and in which she perishes without salvation and reasonlessness - and the lasting anger and pain that this brings.
