The Marchioness (De markiezin)
The Marchioness is about porcelain Christmas trees, Kolbász sausages, leather harnesses, lamb cutlets, lamb chops, the wind and the Mount of Olives. It’s about tempestuous love, too, and human solidarity. ‘Bit by bit you build a life for yourself, but it’s always make-believe, because deep underground everything conspires to blast it to pieces again as soon as possible. The slightest incident – a slip of the pen, a fluttering leaf, an open suitcase, a needle – is enough to make you pop at the seams.’
