Written by the author of the phenomenally successful ART.

Two strangers on a train. He a famous novelist, she a passionate admirer of his work. She has his latest book in her handbag and would be reading it if she did not fear his reaction would be embarrassing or disappointing. In dazzling monologues, author and admirer reveal the rich unpredictability of their inner lives, and a journey that began simply as a trip from Paris to Frankfurt becomes an adventure of the mind.

“Reza’s artful play may persuade you that there is nothing of greater value in all the world than a brief encounter between strangers on a train.”
New York Review
