Synopsis

Necktie, rank of duty, after-work beer: it could always go on like this. But Erwin, mid-fifties, family father, breaks out. Once a free spirit, he plunges back into a wild, unbound adventure life after decades. He dives under, flees into nature, is soon considered missing. Finding me draws the psychogram of a man who is ultimately diagnosed with psychosis and whose family no longer recognizes him. Doris Wirth tells this story as a long-term portrait that takes changing perspectives; she blinds back into the past of Erwin's marriage, the social circumstances of the family founding and the reactions of children growing up in these circumstances. Finding Me is a gripping novel debut that asks about the effects of self-definition about performance and work, and highlights constraints and limitations in our society.
