ORF Moderator Writes Crime Novels: "You Can Laugh at Jokes About Death"
Popular Austrian TV presenter and journalist Hanno Settele has written a new book about death - The Grim Reaper is at the Table.
Settele is known for his relaxed demeanor and witty style on ORF, but his new book takes a darker turn, exploring the topic of death through a series of short stories.
The book is a collection of 13 stories, each of which deals with a different aspect of death. In one story, a man is haunted by the ghost of his dead wife. In another, a group of friends gather to celebrate the life of a recently deceased friend, but their celebration is cut short when one of them is murdered.
Settele's stories are often humorous, but they also deal with some serious issues. In one story, a woman is forced to confront her own mortality after she is diagnosed with a terminal illness. In another, a man struggles to come to terms with the death of his father.
Despite the dark subject matter, Settele's book is ultimately a life-affirming work. He shows us that even in the face of death, there is still beauty and joy to be found.
