Oscar and the Lady in Pink

“It is, undoubtedly, the most autobiographical of my works (…) I was myself Oscar, the child who was not spoken to because of his frightening illness, the child who suffers from the silence of those around him, of the sky, of the questions remained unanswered, but who continues to be animated with the immense joy of living.

Oscar and the Lady in Pink is an anthem for life. Regardless of the life span, one’s existence should be rich, delightful, filled with strong and basic feelings of humor, of questions and laughter. This capacity to embellish the daily life, this strength to survive, is also an anthem of the imagination.”
Eric Emanuel Schmitt
