Sebastian Becker reads about loss, memory, and carrying on. “And Summer Will Come Again Anyway” tells a moving and clear story about saying goodbye.
When Sebastian Becker was 28 years old, his father died. The loss marked a turning point, followed initially by silence. In *And Summer Will Come Again Anyway*, the author searches for words to express grief, memory, and the question of how life can be reorganized after a profound loss.
From memories of bright and dark days emerges a language that remains personal yet open to readers’ own experiences: of sunflowers, colorful socks, and green bananas; of love, longing, and moments when time seems to stand still. The reading tells of saying goodbye, of compassion, and of the courage to remain gentle. It also speaks of the hope that, after a difficult time, summer can come again.
