Ást í meinum

by Rúnar Helgi Vignisson

Bókin geymir fimmtán nýjar smásögur sem tengjast allar efnislega – raða sér í svokallaðan sagnasveig – en þær eiga það sammerkt að fjalla um náin samskipti. Höfundur spyr áleitinna spurninga um hjónabandið, ástina, kynlíf, barneignir, lífsstíl og heilbrigði og ekki hvað síst um það að eldast saman.

194 pages, Paperback

Mjög gott smásagnasafn sem ég reikna með að lesa aftur síðar.
