This book was first published in 1995, and only now got translated into German. It reads like an early draft of “Empusion“. It's not yet as good as said one, but already a true Tokarczuk. E.E. is Erna Eltzner, but during most of the story she's not treated like a real human being. She's just E.E., a study object, a medium, “just“ a girl. We learn about the humans she connects and about science around 1900 (key word: hysteria).
