Trafikant

The hero is a kiosk keeper, a very particular man for whom his little tobacco and newspaper stand is a refuge from the world outside. Looking out through its small window, he gets to know people down to the finest detail, and the lives of many unfold in front of his counter, with their joys and sorrows. But the world is not always rosy: indifference, alienation and the rule of capital do their work and shut out those who care, who take the time to get to know others. Perhaps based on real events, perhaps not, the novel mixes truth and invention and asks how much we know, or care, about our neighbours.
