Kiki este o tinara nonconformista, incapabila sa aleaga intre viata alaturi de un artist megaloman, Renato, si iubirea pentru o alta fata, Alex.

In aceasta continua oscilatie intre hetero- si homosexualitate, Kiki traieste insa o serie de experiente in urma carora viziunile sale devin mai puternice decit realitatea. Roman ecranizat in 2006 in regia lui Tudor Giurgiu
