In the Lost Things collection of stories, the usual things are told about in an unusual way. Obsolete items (coal iron, typewriter, postcard, old book) that many people have thrown away in the garbage, hide so many stories. Blending the autobiographical, the fabulous and the grotesque, the author has gifted them with a second life, and they have become part of human biographies...
One girl is often involved in the stories. The little curious Ani becomes a (co) participant and a kind of judge in the real and fictional adventures of her grandfather-storyteller and his characters.
