How I taught myself to be a child

Paul Silberstein, youngest son of an urbane but deeply strange old Austrian dynasty of confectionary millionaires, has been furnished by nature with a stunning imagination as well as this difficult legacy. In the Austria of the late 1950s he discovers the power of love and humor – and also his own extraordinary ability to shape his realities.
