This is a story of three houses, three women and three bedrooms. The houses are located on the same street.

At my parents house I have a separate bedroom with a big cupboard.
At my grandmother’s house, I share the bed with her.
At the neighbors there are two rooms: one big and one small. Sometimes we sleep in the same bed.

I have a recurring dream: I can’t clean up my room at my parents house, nor can I find my clothes. They must be in one of the three bedrooms.

Katrien De Blauwer (b. 1969, Belgian)

“It is like walking past a house you used to live in: the fact that it still exists, so concrete, makes everything that has happened since seem somehow insubstantial.”

Rachel Cusk, excerpt from Outline

The book contains a text written by musician and singer Shirley Manson (b. 1966, Scottish).
