The fact that he has six months left to live doesn't discourage him -- he isn't one to let small problems like that stand in the way, especially not after he's survived a concentration camp. Currently marooned in an all-male sanatorium in Sweden, and desperate to get out, he acquires the names of the 117 Hungarian women also recovering in Sweden and writes each of them a letter in his beautiful cursive hand.
