"Will I get a crêpe? Their Nutella is always so perfectly melty." He said it like a child, and as he did, his crying got even heavier, his whole body trembling more noticeably."You're not the only one-I'll have one too. I can't go wrong eating whatever you choose.""But that's a lot of calories, Madame. Unhealthy carbs-your blood sugar spikes and then the insulin drops it right back down. Next thing you know, you're hungry again. And then, poof, you're fat." Even with his tear-stained face, he gave his little lecture with a hint of mock seriousness.She gave his ear another tug, though this time more gently than before.For a moment, he actually felt a flicker of amusement."I've known for a while now you're a little know-it-all.""I want two crêpes.""Then I'm getting two as well. No way you're getting more than me.""But that's not how nature intended it. As a man, I'm automatically higher up the hierarchy, so it only makes sense I get two and you get one." The ear-pulling grew steadily more forceful."Oh, really? Now I've got a little macho man on my hands, huh?"Lukas is young, educated, and charismatic. Yet, the culture of physical presence and the stifling bureaucracy of his professional world take their toll. Following several breakdowns and suicide attempts, he seeks help in a clinic. There, he tries to describe who he is and what is tearing him apart. A chief physician, Amanda, enters his life: caring yet cold, and ultimately abusive. Amanda plans a journey together that brings Lukas into contact with a past full of shadows-and with unexpected allies who give everything they have to save him.A highly topical contemporary novel that combines socio-critical accents with narrative power - and specifically invites male readers, medical professionals, and book clubs to pause for reflection.
