Også arbeidsdagen. Leseren tas med inn i en sanselig og nær verden hvor vitenskapsmenn, komponister, forfattere, filosofer og helgener er like naturlige hverdagsvenner som småfuglene, hageplantene, telefonen og katten uten navn.Komposisjoner av lys er bygget opp av fragmenter: biter av minner, fliker av samtaler, glimt av situasjoner, stemninger, sitater og refleksjoner. Den lodder dypt, men er lett å lese. Den er full av alvor, men også av morsomheter og absurditeter. Først og fremst er den menneskelig,...
