An exhilarating love story and its worst nightmare at the same time. In a novella of oppressive density, Matthias Politycki tells of the joys and sorrows of love and how death can nullify all its certainties. It is a breathless journey into the depths of fidelity and betrayal, the drama of a love in our time. Hinrich Schepp has become one of the seers. After decades of severe nearsightedness, he wants to finally understand women and their grand, incomprehensible nature. This desire intensifies when he observes a seductive beauty at the bar of his regular pub, who—terribly scandalous and yet promising for a Schepp—gets kissed by her companion and then even bitten on the neck. His life is thrown completely off balance when that very woman later reappears in his pub—as a waitress. But what does it all mean?.
