FAMILY
In an interview I was asked whether I came from a literary family. After explaining that my father had grown up on a farm and became an engineer, I realized that my own generation has become authorial. In two years, three of the siblings each produced a book. Here are my sister and brother’s. After that, my wife’s paintings.
