Being born a genius in the rural wilderness, where you are considered a geek, comprehending the secrets of music and organ playing without knowing how to read music, selflessly loving and not being loved, experiencing your first and only success with experts, only to take your own life in an unheard of way a few days later - this is the story of the hero of the book by the modern Austrian writer Robert Schneider (b. 1961). Since its publication in 1992, the novel “Sister of Sleep” has been translated into 24 languages, awarded a number of literary awards, and formed the basis of a film, ballet and opera.
