”Ghosts/I talk to the dead consists of thirty glass containers. Each container resounds with a story, read by Agnes, Ann och Mikael. The stories are from the books Spöken (Ghosts, W&W 2005) and Jag talar till de döda (I talk to the dead, W&W 2008), the latter penned while I was under the influence of the group discussions.
