About the Book

This extensive biographical book about Manca Košir—professor, journalist, volunteer, actress, writer, politician, and lover—has been compiled and interwoven from her self-reflective passages by Žiga Valetič. The book offers an overview of her life, from early childhood and her first steps in acting and modeling, through her studies, journalistic activism, and family life, to pioneering television programs, an academic career, and numerous public engagements: promoting reading, serving as an ambassador of joyful aging, engaging as a green politician, an epistolary correspondent, a mystical poet, and an advocate for palliative care and the destigmatization of death. A first-person narrative of one of Slovenia’s greatest women.
