In a letter to his wife, Icelandic architect Fridjon B. Fridriksson divulges his lifelong obsession with German militant Gudrun Ensslin, of the Baader-Meinhof gang. He first glimpsed her on TV as a child and now Ensslin lingers in his dreams and has become the defining fixture of his adult psyche. To break free from Ensslin, and salvage his marriage, Fridjon resorts to drastic measures. Sjon calls this, his untranslated breakout work from 1994, his most provocative work to be published in English, exploring the erotic magnetism of extremism.
