Siri Hustvedt's cancer memoir and Henning Krautmacher on wife's illness

American author Siri Hustvedt released a memoir that intertwines personal reflections on her lung‑cancer diagnosis with letters, diary entries and correspondence with her husband, novelist Paul Auster. The book mixes memory fragments, love letters and a dream about former President Donald Trump, offering an intimate portrait of coping with terminal illness.

German singer Henning Krautmacher spoke on the ZDF programme "Volle Kanne" about his wife Anke Krautmacher’s stomach‑cancer diagnosis in 2022. He described the couple’s struggle, his decision to shave his beard in solidarity, and Anke’s gradual improvement, though he notes that their life will never be the same.
