Έξοχη πρόζα κι έξοχα δομημένη πλοκή, με καίριους προβληματισμούς γύρω από το πώς ορίζουμε τον εαυτό μας και τους ανθρώπους γύρω μας, τον τρόπο που επιθυμούμε να πιστεύουμε πως σημαίνουμε κάτι και με κρισιμότερο το γεγονός ότι θα κάνουμε σχεδόν οτιδήποτε για να δώσουμε ένα περίγραμμα στην αίσθηση του...
