Arno Geiger's father was a complex man, whose experiences in World War II had a lasting impact. When he developed Alzheimer's, Arno felt compelled to understand him better. He embarked on a journey to get to know his father at last, walking with him through the village and landscape of their shared past. As they walked, Arno listened to his father's words, which were often infused with unexpected poetry. Through this account, we gain insight into how our character is shaped by our experiences, regardless of age or circumstances. This poignant story has been translated into nearly 30 languages, offering solace and understanding to those coping with a loved one's aging. The Old King in His Exile is a moving and often humorous exploration of the human experience, revealing that our past continues to shape us long after we reach old age.
