Telesa v temi

The narrator is a writer who falls ill with testicular cancer. After the operation he refuses any further treatment and loses his libido and his desire for sex, yet unusual forms of sexuality still fascinate him, and he keeps turning to explicit, often extreme descriptions of them. Around him are his friend Andrej, a literature professor with two passions, postmodernism and young women; his partner Sara, who grew up early and, after his illness, begins visiting a house with red doors; her intelligent sixteen-year-old daughter Tea, who is just discovering the power of her own sexuality; and women from his past and his imagination, among them Mandy, the artist with whom he lost his virginity at twenty-three.
