Born in Germany in 1973, Sellin was a happy child, but shortly before turning two, he suddenly grew terrified of other children, stopped talking & retreated into a dark & lonely world for the next 16 years. Although autistic, he taught himself to read & then began to type -- he was now able to express himself & he developed increased control. This book is a firsthand account of rare eloquence & immediacy, a remarkable story of raw human courage & -- ultimately -- indomitable hope. "Birger has broken through a wall between unbearable worlds, & what he has written is nothing other than the poetry of the human soul." "Texts of a bizarre beauty."
