Prioritaire

by Iselin C. Hermann

" - et sted under huden, der hvor kødet begynder at blive flydende, ser jeg Deres billede 'Sans titre 2,22 x 2', som det hang i Gallerie Y i Paris.

Eller må farverne forskydningerne, forløbene er gået i kroppen på mig.

Selvom jeg ikke ejer det, er billedet mit."

Således begynder brevvekslingen mellem den unge danske kvinde Delphine og den ældre franske kunstner Jean Luc Foreur. Kunstneren svarer på brevet, og en smuk, poetisk og erotisk relation opstår imellem dem på skrift. Tanken om at mødes i ansigt til ansigt er dragende, men frygten for at virkeligheden skal komme imellem dem er altid til stede.

"Prioritaire" er Iselin C. Hermanns debutroman. Bogen bugner af poetisk sprog, følsomhed og en usædvanlig elegant skildring af erotisk kærlighed. Den udkom første gang i 1998.
