Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck
challenging dark emotional funny hopeful reflective sad tense slow-paced

“A long time ago, the papers in his boxes and those in her suitcases were speaking to each other. Now they’re both speaking to time.”
“Come, darling May, and put the buds back on the trees, the piano wishes at the end, but it’s July now, the summer evening outside has turned into a summer night, the bottle of wine is empty.”
A fluid, heady weaving of art, politics, literature, and love, or control.
