A father's grief after his daughter's death in a car accident is explored in Ami Rao's lyrical prose novella, "The Man Who Loved Yngve." Alienated from the world and his own mind, he considers his guilt and blame and experiments with language to understand grief, inspired by Roland Barthes' essays.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 160 pages
Publication date: 01 March 2022
Publisher: Fairlight Books


When a teenage girl tragically loses her life in a car accident on her way back from school, her father is left to navigate the depths of grief. Sent home from work for expressing his emotions in front of strangers, he finds himself unable to voice his unspoken thoughts of guilt and blame, even to his own wife. Feeling alienated from the world and, to some extent, his own mind, he watches as his marriage slowly unravels. In this fragmented and philosophical novella, Ami Rao delves into the complex realm of grief, employing lyrical prose to explore this profound human emotion. Drawing inspiration from the essays of Roland Barthes, the book is a deeply moving testament to the human experience.
