The narrator of Volatile Texts: Us Two falls in love with Pierre, the book's secret protagonist. During their trysts she rediscovers Switzerland, a place where every valley has its own language and every person is translated.

The subjects were selected to reflect the potential interest of any age group. This would give the grandkids the opportunity...
