Diary of a Borken Old Man constitutes a lucid and courageous philosophical perspective on Pániker’s own process of aging and the inevitability of approaching his own death. Covering a period of his life from 2000 to 2004, the author also addresses experiences and anecdotes of his social life, including two new love stories. In an ironical style, Pániker shares his views on life with deep thoughtfulness and generosity.
