English Title: Sewage

»Following a political revolution, the Sewage Inspector has been asked to write a report on the condition of the sewage system. For the people who always behave ›in such a washed way‹, should be able to take a look down to see what flows underneath their feet, all the hidden and chaotic things underneath their clean city... The inspector in Sewage has the ›Sewage gaze‹ allowing him to see through the superficial things. An extraordinary prose work which masters a difficult subject matter by means of a bold metaphor; not the world as a sewer but the sewer as a constant theme of the world.«
