Four stories and one almost radio-play-like dialogue, which the book calls 'little novels', all turn on love, or rather on fateful erotic longing that takes strange shapes. A husband escapes his wife's ever bolder sexual demands into an erotic dream; a dignified old man feels sexual curiosity wake in him late in life; a composer lying in an MRI tunnel remembers a failed encounter with a prostitute long ago, which may now catch up with him. A playful, slightly malicious narrator keeps steering the mostly male characters into odd and unpredictable situations.
