Prosetate Cancer

A book full of jokes and poetry, philosophy and prose, despair and hope, everyday observations and wild imagination and simply anything that crosses TvL's mind.

Prosetate cancer is a severe brain tumour disease causing a swelling of the cerebral corTEXT. Fortunately, it is very rare nowadays, however, it can severely affect patients' lives. Most of them suffer surprisingly forming formulations, a hyperactive vocabulary and hard to follow associations, gravely impeding everyday communication. Often times it comes along with an adDICTION and a desire for biro pens. A book full of jokes and poetry, philosophy and prose, despair and hope, everyday observations and wild imagination and simply anything that crosses TvL's mind. A journey to the summits of word juggling, the depths of abysses of the visions and the peaks of provocation stalagmites by the young upcoming German poetry slammer. Prosetate Cancer is a multilingual book as it contains a few paragraphs in Volapük, Mslallnauggae and Gerlish respectively. The main language, however, is English even though the author (i.e. me, or rather the person writing me as I obviously am nothing but a little sentence) is originally German. You should know this as well as that he is currently staying in the UK as an au-pair in order to fully understand all texts and as an excuse for the probably quite imperfect language.

Autorentext
Tobias van Lier is a young poetry slammer and author from Germany. After a first stage experience in 2017, he couldn't lay the pen down anymore. This is why he produced loads of prose texts (short stories, essays and philosophies) in a rather short period of time. In October 2018, he started an au-pair year in England. Living in the United Kingdom inspred him to write some English texts, as well as translating some of his German work. So in 2019, his first English book (Prosetate Cancer) was published thanks to epubli. Enjoy!
