MTL: What did the Michel Foucault character represent for you? Hope? An example? A dream?
AT: The man who worked for the “Salvation Army” in Geneva in the third part of the book looked exactly like French philosopher Michel Foucault. I have always been fascinated by Foucault. Not only intellectually but also physically. When I was [...]
