The Shadow Walker

Peter and Albert. Two brothers, two lives. Peter becomes a meritorious writer, Albert sinks into a devastating schizophrenia. Feelings of incomprehension, guilt and dependency stand in the way of a normal relationship between the two. Until Peter gets his hands on an insignificant notebook, filled with texts by Albert. Reading those seemingly incoherent pages is for him the starting point of an intense search for the essence of his brother. And of himself. 'De schaduwganger' is more than a moving story about brotherly love. In this book, Joris Tulkens takes us to the twilight zones of the human mind. He establishes unsuspected connections between art and delusion, between appearance and reality.
