One morning in March 2021, as the second wave of infections surged through Ireland, where Mark Lanegan had recently settled, he awoke gasping for breath, exhausted beyond belief. His body was laden with a colossal dose of COVID-19, leaving him breathless and fatigued. He was admitted to Kerry Hospital, with initial hopes of survival dwindling. Lanegan's illness plunged him into a coma, rendering him unable to walk or function for several months. Fearing for his life, he slipped in and out of consciousness, grappling with the harsh reality of his condition.
As the days stretched into weeks, his situation grew increasingly intolerable, plagued by nightmares, visions, and regrets about a life lived on the edge of chaos and disorder. He found himself contemplating his predicament, questioning how, in his sixth decade, his lifelong battle with mortality had culminated in this final, banal encounter with a disease that had claimed millions of lives. It seemed as if he had been defying death his entire existence, only to be undone by this relentless disease.
Written in vignettes of prose and poetry, Devil in a Coma is a terrifying account of illness and the remorse that accompanies it, penned by an artist and writer with a singular vision. The book explores the depths of human suffering, the toll of regret, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Through its poignant and evocative prose, Devil in a Coma offers a profound reflection on the human condition, reminding us of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment we have.
