Hakirana Kiti

Kiti, a writer from Eastern Europe, is finishing a doctorate in anthropology at a London college and finds herself blocked by her own perfectionism. A professional at shifting perspectives, she turns the logic of scholarly argument on her own strange love life, above all her affairs with Mitja and Rodge, and on the hypocrisies of the liberal, left-leaning circles she wants to join as an outsider, while she must soon decide whether to become part of the academic establishment at all. What we read of her life is a manuscript found some twenty years later by Maor, a young hacker who reads on only because it is forbidden and comes to see Kiti as a fellow rebel. Love is explained in the jargon of science, and science grows out of love's fevers.
