The chapters of this book work as separate pixels: each is whole in itself, with its own colour, but once the reader notices the complex system of connections between them they combine into one new and larger story. People and fates collide and swirl through space and time and meet by chance, yet it feels as if they once belonged to a single body that something has torn apart, like the couples who keep appearing in the book. Head, heart and hand: each part of the body has its own story. Constant zooming in and out draws a chronicle of painfully sad relationships.
