Melancholic longing and great expectations, everyday boredom and lust for life - hardly anyone writes about the trials and tribulations of growing up with such an intensity as Tamara Bach. Her reduced language, her courage to leave empty spaces, ther precise figure sketching, her look for details and her sense of unused, surprising images create a distinctive sound. Tamara Bach is able to say a lot, in a few words.
