Elzo Smid (1963) studied human geography and graphic design. Previously he published a short-story collection, a children's book about a hermit crab, and a non-fiction book about an urban myth prevalent in the Netherlands and Italy. Everything reflects his fascination for organisms, food chains, and symbioses in nature. This is his first novella, a fact-based work of fiction written as a diary.
