Publisher Description:
Literary Nonfiction. Translated from the German by Michael Eskin. Andrea K hler's beautiful and profound reflections on life's interstitial spaces--the queue, the waiting room, the place held for two when only one has arrived--at once poetic and philosophical, intimate and analytical, form the perfect antidote to the headlong rush of our culture. It is one of those rare books that, like Rilke's Archaic Torso of Apollo, makes you feel that you must change your life, or perhaps more urgently, the way you think about your life.
