“THE DEATH OF LEOPOLD GURSKYLeopold Gursky started dying on August 18, 1920.He died learning to walk.He died standing at the blackboard.And once, also, carrying a heavy tray.He died practicing a new way to sign his name.Opening a window.Washing his genitals in the bath.He died alone, because he was too embarrassed to phone anyone.Or he died thinking about Alma.Or when he chose not to.”
