On peut se dire au revoir plusieurs fois

In collaboration with Ursula Gauther. In this short - just 100 pages - and intensely personal book, David Servan-Schreiber reviews his long battle with cancer, repeatedly victorious, interspersed with relapses. This poignant testimony is clear and illuminating, covering pain, fear and courage in the face of evil, but equally hope, the will to live and dreams for the future. Written by a man afflicted by illness, but not broken, the author's manner of teaching us to love life while looking death in the face is reminiscent of Jean-Dominique Bauby and his Scaphandre. Our loved ones live in our hearts. This is the most comforting form of "immortality" and to me the most appealing.
