When Eirik and his father end up in Berlin, it may seem like a trip or vacation, but it's neither. Why does the slogan of a teenager in a wheelchair and his dad become: "feet in your hands, and let's go"? Where did Eirik's mother go, how Mary Shelley's gothic thriller "Frankenstein" is connected with his life, and why the guy can't study with his new friends at a German school — read the fascinating story of Norwegian writer Arne Swingen in a wonderful translation by Natalia Ivanichuk.
