Marica Bodrožić writes about the miracle of human existence and shows how finitude and new beginnings give rise to an ethic of tenderness.

A sunny hospital garden, a lounge chair in front of the hospice—and the realization: The authority of death is the authority of life. When the author receives a diagnosis that could mean her imminent death, she enters an “interstitial space”—that zone where time has two rhythms: that of the body and that of consciousness. Drawing on this borderline experience, she describes how mortality sharpens perception and enables freedom. She traces the trains of thought of great philosophers and writers and asks what remains of us when everything superfluous falls away.
A literary-philosophical essay on mortality as a school of seeing—and on how the life that remains allows us to live more intensely, more authentically, and more freely.
