Una novela única, ligera y honda a la vez, que indaga en las posibilidades del género para hablar sobre el cuerpo, el mundo y las estrategias siempre insuficientes con que intentamos cartografiarlos. Al principio de Los errantes, la narradora esboza un autorretrato que es también una poética: "A todas luces yo carecía de ese gen que hace que en cuanto se detiene uno en un lugar por un tiempo más o menos largo, enseguida eche raíces. (...) Mi energía es generada por el movimiento.

Dagens hus nattens hus er en mangetydig og farverig roman om mennesker og menneskeskæbner i grænselandet mellem Polen og Tjekkiet. En magisk fortalt lag-på-lag fortælling hvor personer og historier ligesom lægges oven over hinanden.
