Ich bleib mal sitzen (I’ll Stay Seated)

In “Ich bleib mal sitzen,” Olli Boehm writes from the perspective of a wheelchair user who has made creativity and a stubborn streak his stance. He is an artist, lives with an incurable illness and likes to think against the grain.

Drawing on the experiences of recent years, he has written a book full of questions. They concern our personal surroundings, society, the economy and the public sphere, and lead to a single question: Is the formula “awareness and responsibility” enough for a good life?

The answers are subjective, sometimes plain, sometimes surprising. They are meant to spark further thought and help readers find their own paths. Along the way, you learn a good deal about multiple sclerosis and the everyday life of a creative person.
