Book Festival: Patrick Van Gompel signs 'Memoires vol leven en dood'

Oorlogsjournalist Patrick Van Gompel signs his 'Memoires vol leven en dood'. After the loss of his father and brothers to cancer, he writes with great warmth about his mother's euthanasia. The author converts grief into resilience. More than ever he has even more zest for life. This hopeful book is the source of inspiration for his play Doodgraag about euthanasia and dementia. If death is a drama, then life is an intense joy. This event is part of Feest van het Boek (www.standaardboekhandel.be/feest-van-het-boek).
