Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“I know that many people won’t believe that a child not yet eleven is capable of such feelings. It is not to those people that I am telling my story.

But only seldom in my life have I had such deep and painful experiences as I had then.”

Which of the two did the will of his father?”
