What an interesting story! I liked that you drew a parallelism with Frankl's own experience. Man in Search of Meaning is a book that rocked my world in so many ways. My reading of the book took me to understand how hope is the ultimate lifesaver; Frankl was looking forward to meeting his wife again (he didn't know at the time that she had died in the camps) and that Yuri Weinert died once he knew his love had died strikes so many sad notes, he had endured so much, and once he had no love to look forward to then he gave up. Anyway, thank you for such a beautiful story.
An interesting story indeed! Reminds me of James Clifford, a hoax poet that Vanya had unearthed - https://www.nova-nevedoma.com/life-and-poetry-of-james-clifford/ ; I wonder how many other stories like this exist out there. One just needs to dig deeper.
Thanks! I'll have to give this one a read, it's from before I was Vanya's fan :)

Thanks Ana! I really like Frakl's books, and they can really help in a horrible situation.
