Herman Koch: 'Besides cancer, I also have Parkinson's' | Writer
Herman Koch, diagnosed with Parkinson's two months ago, initially attributed his mood swings to hormone therapy for cancer. He describes his emotional state as similar to a woman in menopause, experiencing increased sensitivity. Despite living with the shadow of death, he finds a sense of freedom in his situation. Koch is now on medication for Parkinson's, which has improved his condition slightly.
