A wayward, wanton selection of stories grounded in displacement, desire, and the wish coursing through us to accede to the state of love. There is torment and illness, crude reality and distant fragrant places, peopled by characters that reside close to our bones, our psyches, our flesh. A Japanese soprano has lost her voice and seeks repose on a sailing boat in Corsica. A South African advertising executive learns the ropes at his Accra office. Destructive lovers interview a renowned musician in dusty Bamako. In London, a Rome-based man happens upon a woman from the past, bringing back a passionate interlude he has hidden from himself. Lovers meet, fade, delude. We are weak and defiant beings, ever-learning, ever-lustful.
