But then one day on the road, he receives word that the South African Police have some news for him.

Story
On a beautifully restored barge on the Seine, Jean Perdu runs a bookshop - or, rather, a 'literary apothecary', for this bookseller possesses a rare gift for sensing which books will soothe the troubled souls of his customers. The only person he is unable to cure, it seems, is himself. He has nursed a broken heart ever since the night, twenty-one years ago, when the love of his life fled Paris, leaving behind a handwritten letter that he has never dared read.

Gracie Burton is a grandmother living quietly in Devon. She has rarely left the village over the past 40 years. Her daughter, Carina, is immensely high-powered, with her own fast-paced business in London. She has very little time for her 17-year-old daughter, Anastasia, away at boarding school, and even less time for her ageing mother. In many ways, the three of them barely know each other.

Story
"Notes for soloists" er en flersproget digtsamling, der arbejder med sproget som materiale. Den viser, hvordan små variationer på lyd-, ord- og sætningsniveau kan skabe store og afgørende forskydninger i betydning - fra det nonsensagtigt spøjse og sjove til det smukke og katastrofale. Med enkle greb peger digtene med skepsis på den magt, der ligger i sprogets evne til at strukturere vores verden.

Erik Satie, ein Pionier von scheinbar beziehungslosen Harmonien und surrealer Sprach- und Musikexperimente, hinterließ ein erstaunliches Gesamtwerk, darunter auch etliche kurze Prosatexte. Auf Hunderten von Zettelchen notierte er kleine Geschichten, Bizarrerien und fiktive Inserate. Seine Partituren durchsetzte er mit allerlei Bemerkungen und Spielanweisungen. Er hielt Vorträge, erfand absurde Szenen und schrieb sogar ein Theaterstück. Erik Satie setzte aber vor allem mit seiner "Musique Pure" einen wichtigen Meilenstein der musikgeschichtlichen Entwicklung.
