Tomhet och ömhet

The book's hundred pieces each try to answer something that can barely be asked, about being alone and its reverse, and the reverse's own solitude. The writer and her married lover follow a game whose rules are complicated, and it is unclear whether they are in love or simply playing with words. The affair is treated with irony. Some pieces are one line, others run for pages of verse, and together they rhyme, hurt, reflect and joke.
