Mr. Gaarder, you have been writing books introducing philosophy for 30 years. Have you already thought about a philosophical question today? Yes. Like every single day since I was about eleven years old.

I write about this in my new book “Isn’t it a wonder we exist?” I understood that life is short and I will disappear at some point.
