Tonio by A. F. Th. van der Heijden
A grieving father confronts the sudden, tragic loss of his young son by piecing together memories, letters and fragments of evidence to try to know who the boy was and why he died; the narrative moves between intimate recollection, legal and documentary detail, and lyrical reflection on language, guilt and the limits of understanding. Through spare, elegiac prose the book becomes both a personal memorial and an exploration of how loss reshapes identity and memory.
