| Summary: | "... An apparently unreadable book, written and conceived by Yiota Demetriou, with help from ... Tom Abba ... In it are evocative love letters that were never sent, which are addressed To You, the reader. The letters are poetry written in prose, contemplating the mysteries of human relationships, love, attachment, loss, and affection ... But this is not like any other book! It seeks your effort, care, and affection to be read. Imbued with warmth from your gentle touch, its black pages gradually become translucent. The writing becomes visible, and traces of your fingerprints are left on its pages. Unlike many reading experiences, this book responds to your body heat by inviting you to lovingly caress it."--https://to-you.live, accessed 17 September 2019. |
