Sag ein paar Worte, irgendetwas, Marten hat sich gerade an dich erinnert“, bat mich Eva mit hektischer Stimme am Telefon. Ich wusste nicht, worum es ging.

The volume is an epistolary narrative produced via text message with a community of anonymous correspondents. Following on from a performative work, conceived by Simon Asencio, this book stages a relation between two protagonists, U and I.
