Har någon sett mig någon annanstans?

It starts with a night at the theatre: acrobatics, quick changes and slapstick, and an acrobat whose mother appears too. The show sets loose a stream of pictures in the writer's mind, and odd things begin before the curtain rises again. Walking home she runs into Anders, a character from one of her books who will not leave her alone, and a muddled physicist with theories about what reality is. Later that night Sisyphus, Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov and the starving hero of Hamsun's Hunger turn up as well, quizzing the present on behalf of their eras, while phone calls from strangers keep breaking in.
