Short story “Luft”

Published in the German anthology “Von Neugierde, Mut und Reiselust. Ehrliche Reisestories” (German title)

A coughing fit in a hotel room in Bangkok. An emergency surgery at the International Hospital. With striking intensity and subtle self-irony, Sibylle Reuter’s short story Luft recounts an extraordinary medical event that becomes a metaphor for a radical new beginning. It is a true story about breath, survival and the unexpected healing power of human warmth.
