A woman decides to get rid of her husband. A literature professor turns his back on the directory and begins to construct necrological extracts. A consciously single man sees his world collapsing from the invasion of a myopic painter. The devil's bites and the disease of Haiti. A postgraduate kleptomaniac discovers Japanese sushi (and wonders why she didn't stay home). Obsessive ideas of a solitary architect. The vile method of the Venetians for rejecting illegitimate children. A poet meets his Muse - and decides to write a novel. Festival in Thessaloniki. In a word, love. Along with thirteen strange diseases. Like the depth of a landscape.
