Dramatic reading in Neubrandenburg: Annette Lucius' Book about Parkinson's
Neubrandenburg, Deutschland - In Neubrandenburg, the reading of the debut novel "Drunk Flying" by Annette Lucius keeps a lot of interested parties in suspense. The first event was a complete success, so that the room could hardly grasp all visitors. Nordkurier reports that the author, even from Neubrandenburg, tells a moving story. Her book, which is based on real events, is about the life-changing diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
The protagonist of history is the first-person narrator Karoline, a dentist in her fifties. The diagnosis unexpectedly hits you and forces you to find a new way of dealing with your illness. Because as we know, around 200,000 people in Germany are affected by Parkinson's. This neurological illness, which is the second most common after Alzheimer, brings with it a variety of challenges, such as describes.
The meaning of the book
Lucius himself had prior knowledge of the effects of the disease as a doctor before she received her own diagnosis. In "drunk flying" she not only describes her personal fear and the feeling of failure, but also the widespread experience of standing on the edge of society. It is a narrative that speaks from the soul of many affected people and offers encouragement to deal with the illness.
The author emphasizes that the acceptance of such a difficult diagnosis often takes time. Lucius advocates that trained psychologists should be available in medical practices to support patients in difficult moments. The experiences she has had in the processing of her illness are not exceptional for many, and she wants to encourage other affected people.
