About this listen

Join the team of men with cancer, struggling with identity and overcoming daily life challenges.

A novel about a group of middle-aged men who share the trait of all having cancer and living close to Aarhus, Denmark's second-largest city.

The bulk of the book is quick listens in which we accompany a bunch of middle-aged men and a few women (in the background) as they push tires, daydream about vintage vehicles, and contemplate life.

My goal has been to immerse the listener in a male universe that, in its slightly satirical form, illustrates the relationship between surface and depth, in addition to delivering a compelling tale. Integrity of a man without coming out as overly striving!

Søren Kirkegaard, a philosopher, once said that "we all suffer from a disease until death." People who experience cancer in their middle years serve as a constant reminder of our unavoidable demise. The novel's most intricately written sections center on the ideas and acts it provokes.
