"Possessed by the mystery of a series of fake snuff photographs he was shown as a teenager, Dennis, the narrator of 'Frisk', lives in a world where the rules of attraction have become a treasure hunt, and love is only a matching of images and body parts. In Holland, in a room in a windmill above a brewery, Dennis is freed from the need to respect feelings; the unimaginable becomes an idea, and the idea a reality"--Publisher description.
