In Time

This is the author's debut as a writer of prose. His short stories are characterized by great linguistic precision and distinction, but it is also obvious that they are written by an author with a sense for the dramatic and dynamic in the relations between people who are close to each other or of concern to each other in fundamental ways. The main character of the short stories is a woman that we meet in different phases of life, and who is distinguished by her desire to "recreate herself" as different persons in relation to the people around her that influence her life.
