Someone commented on my review that Faber stopped writing in 2014 because his wife was ill. I have not checked to see if he has published anything since then.

2016 - Undying: A Love Story
2020 - D: A Tale of Two Worlds
2021 - Courage-ensemblet

The first is a poetry collection published soon after his wife died. Poems he wrote as she was ill, and that speak to his love for her.

So, sounds like his writing after 2014 was driven by her spirit . . .

Pretty sad. Although, I guess from deep emotion, good or bad, comes art.
