■"Partners #2"

This second issue focuses on communication. A couple in Berlin use a small table as a tool, two filmmakers with a hopelessly useless father, a couple in Okinawa who share a sense of alienation from society and are dependent on each other...people are connected through a variety of things. This book explores how to build relationships and engage with others from various angles. (publisher's description)
