Synopsis
Once a week Raoul Louper catches the bus to Cairo, and having arrived there he starts telling stories...
He tells stories about love and the travels that have led him to and away from the three women in his life: Elif, Francesca and Arlette. He talks about single moments and about time slipping by. He remembers 'singing sands', quicksand, coastal strips and deserts. Again and again his thoughts return to the three women and to the countries where he used to live.
Raoul Schrott has written a book in the spirit of Baricco or Calasso, a novella with a hundred and one chapters that tells us about love in its many guises, about the allure of the exotic and the new.
