This autobiography is written to follow the initially turbulent and seemingly random path of education and life experiences of the author in the 1930s and 40s during the oppressive 3rd German Reich. These early childhood insights made the author an undesirable student in the 1950s in the totalitarian German Democratic Republic, and ultimately brought him to the USA. Ideally prepared, he completed a first-rate education in record time, leading in 1965 to a tenured professorship in chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, specializing in research of the solid state of linear macromolecules (polymers, plastics). Early retirement in 1988 led to a new 20-year career as Professor and Distinguished Scientist at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A surprising requirement of this career was an extensive amount of travel within the US and worldwide. It rekindled an interest based on his father's love of the literature on explorations, led to a visit of many anthropological sites, and peaked with a trip around the world with Northwestern University Alumni. The unforeseeable results of writing this book were the many links between Bernhard Wunderlich's love of teaching and research to the earliest experiences in his life. He would not want to miss or change anything. The complete list of publications and lectures is available online as electronic supplementary material on extra.springer.com

David Small groeit op in een gezin waarin iedereen een eigen taal spreekt: zijn moeder zucht voortdurend en slaat de keukenkastjes hard dicht, zijn oudste broer drumt, zijn vader slaat op een boksbal. Onuitgesproken geweld vormt een belangrijk deel in de opvoeding van de jonge David.In Stitches vertelt hij op aangrijpende wijze over hoe de terreur in huis met de jaren alleen maar toeneemt. Zelfs zijn oma, een tragische vrouw die religie en noodlot op hardhandige wijze met elkaar verknoopt, verspilt geen overbodige liefde aan de jongen.Het is haast ondraaglijk om toe te moeten zien hoe wreed mensen ? ouders en kinderen in dit geval ? met elkaar omgaan, wat een kind moet doorstaan: als Small tien jaar is, groeit er een cyste in zijn nek, maar zijn ouders zijn te gepreoccupeerd met zichzelf om er aandacht aan te besteden, hoewel vrienden van de familie hen smeken ernaar te laten kijken. Pas op zijn veertiende ondergaat David een operatie en blijkt het om een kankergezwel te gaan. Een tweede, zware operatie laat hem zonder stem en ook fysiek gehandicapt achter.Onsentimenteel en onbarmhartig wordt het verhaal kaler en kaler, de pagina's leger en leger. Er valt niets meer te zeggen omdat David niets meer zeggen kán.De intensiteit van deze graphic novel is vergelijkbaar met een innerlijke schreeuw, de evocatie van een universele nachtmerrie die zelfs overdag niet verdwijnt?Lees dit boek, huil en zie hoe een ware kunstenaar zijn verdriet en pijn omzet in de ultieme wraak: kunst.
