A poetic autobiography of the author's life and work that praises slowness: slowed-down memories, and people on the margins who slow down our rushing daily lives. Told in the first person, it moves in loops and meanders rather than in a straight line, through freely flowing associations, seemingly trivial incidents, small portraits of people close and quite unknown, reflections, facts and notes, with references to art and literature and lyrical passages. The author knows she cannot turn herself inside out or be complete, since writing about oneself is selective and memory has its limits, and the book also lets the reader into the process of rewriting her own story.
