Arno Geiger celebrates what truly matters in life
What is left when you are no longer the person you were for your entire life? Arno Geiger’s new novel, The Journey to Laredo, explores life’s big questions: Karl lives in seclusion in a remote monastery in Spain. He is sick, merely waiting for his life to end. But then he meets 11-year-old Geronimo and together they decide to take off one night, riding a horse and a mule. They embark on wild adventures and find new companions on their journey to Laredo. Karl experiences all the things he never had, despite his power, fame and wealth: friendship, love, lightheartedness and the freedom of living in the moment.
