La historia de una mujer que tiene que enfrentarse a su entorno. Mei se ha ido al bosque para escribir. Su faena es un desastre y su matrimonio no funciona, así que se escapa a la cabaña del bosque de su infancia para poder escribir. Con palabras, Mei tendrá que encararse a su pasado anodino, su presente descarriado y su futuro inestable. Con una prosa descarnada y visual, la autora confronta a Mei contra su propia soledad.

La Mei, després de naufragar en la feina i immersa en l'apatia matrimonial, s'aboca a escriure instal·lada a la casa del bosc de la seva infantesa, on s'encararà rabiosament a la grisor del seu passat, a un present inoportú i a un futur a la deriva. Aquesta és la crònica d'una rebel·lió. És la història de la seva solitud impenitent narrada en un compte enrere agònic de 185 dies. Però, què és la solitud? Una realitat objectiva o un estat d'ànim? Una benedicció o una condemna? Potser tot alhora. Però una cosa és segura: de la solitud no en sortim indemnes.

1969. Ein altgedienter Geheimagent. Ein einsamer Auftrag. Eine Lizenz zum Töten. William Boyd, Meister der Täuschung und des doppelten Spiels, gilt seit seinem Roman Ruhelos als Großer der Spionageliteratur und führt nun erstmals 007 selbst auf Abwege. Ein raffiniert-verwickeltes James-Bond-Abenteuer: Klassisch, voll unerwarteter Wendungen, mit zwei enigmatischen Bond-Girls und endlich wieder einem 007, der Wodka Martini trinkt - geschüttelt, nicht gerührt.

Aber er spielt, lacht und erzählt immer noch wie ein Lausbub, und schüttelt dann als selbstverständlich reflektierter Erwachsener den Kopf über den eigenen Blödsinn, den er gerade ins Publikum gepfeffert hat. Große Unterhaltung trifft da auf urkomisches Abfeiern der eigenen Bedeutungslosigkeit. Qualtinger meets Fred Fesl, niederbayerische Gstanzl treffen auf Rock'n'Roll. Feine Alltagsbeobachtungen auf ehrliche Einblicke.
