About This Book

Samlingen rummer korte, impressionistiske fortællinger om excentriske eller marginale mennesker, skildret i nøgterne, intime observationer. Flere historier følger unge, følsomme karakterer, især en dreng opvokset hos en vaskekone, hvis længsler efter skønhed, fine vaner og tjenerskab i restaurationsmiljøet afdækkes gennem sanseindtryk og små sociale situationer. Stilen fokuserer på detaljer, stemninger og indre liv frem for store handlinger; temaer om ensomhed, sociale skel og æstetisk begær går igen i portrætter af menneskers vaner, drømme og svigt.
