The humorous fiction surprises with twists, changes in style, and intriguing combinations of content. Inspired by Zenos arrow paradox, different philosophical and natural scientific world views are confronted with each other in playful discourse. As dreams sometimes weave their tangled threads into the order of waking consciousness, here it is reality that threatens to become manifest as a disturbance in Augustinas dream world. Thus a critical voice also speaks up in this fantastic story, referring subtly to current societal issues. Whether animal, plant, teacup, woman or man;in Augustinas dream they all represent states of being, and stand for diametrically opposed views and approaches to interpreting the world.
