In this wonderful and surprising book, Lida, the Alphabetician, and Dan, the Rabbi, are bust exchanging thoughts, memories and images of their early lives, exploring how their profession(s) of letters led them to love a fulfilment. Exuberant, direct, painful, revelatory, it is a memorable exercise in 'humane letters', a reminder that it is not bodiless ideals that change and enlighten the world, but our animated labour in the material world we inhabit.
