Episode 2
Posthumous essays dealing touchingly with cancer. Henning Mankell recalls bunking off school and heading for Paris, without any French or money. From March 2016.
Henning Mankell was creator of Wallander, the fictional detective. His posthumous essays, translated by Laurie Thompson with Marlaine Delargy, and abridged by Katrin Williams, refer to his illness and explore much more besides:
One day at school, struggling with Latin, he decides to up sticks and make for Paris. With no French, no money and a vague address to head for. But it's certainly an adventure..
