As the title suggests the novel consists entirely of three-letter-words. - "The sketchbook version of the novel comprises 123 pages, and of these 97 pages were finished already in 1993. Another four pages were composed in 1995, 15 pages in March 1999, and seven further pages between 2007 and 2009. Andrea Tippel takes leave in the last pages of her recently deceased friends, among these Tomas Schmit, Ludwig Gosewitz, and Emmett Williams. The novel appeared in various printed and recorded versions: just like a work in progress, Andrea Tippel also performed the novel in sections between 1994 and 2009 at her kitchen table.
