José loves Maria more than anything else in the world. José lives inside Marias ear - far into the ear canal. At foot it can take him the better part of half an hour to walk from her ear to her hip. By bike three minutes. At nights he plays music in front of her eardrum. In the day he keeps her body in shape.

This classic illustrated books is one of the first written by Erlend Loe, and it is characteristically illustrated by Kim Hiorthøi.
