Small World by Martin Suter - presented by NBPL Foundation

June 10
Small World by Martin Suter depicts a man with a void in his soul. For years, Konrad was  a benign parasite on the Koch family, but when their villa burns down because of his forgetfulness, the family’s matriarch puts him on a strict regime. No longer allowed his daily triple, Konrad recovers and falls in love. But then his Alzheimer’s takes hold. As he loses his present, he regains his distant past, and this is what they fear. As they wait for Konrad to rewind to the crucial moment, his life is in danger from far more than a debilitating disease.
