Five short stories translated from the Dutch by Helga van Beuningen, with 13 small and five full-page linoleum prints. Text set in Vega and Futura, printed on Excudit card stock on a proof press. Edition of 170, 60 pages.

Cees Nooteboom's novels and travel writings have made him known world-wide. In these five short stories Nooteboom writes about himself, but as a sensitive observer he intrudes on the center of the story only rarely, and when he does it is to comment on his inadequacies with the humorous distance characteristic of him.
