When Umberto Eco was asked which woman from world art history he would like to spend the evening with, he called Uta Naumburgskaya. The narrator of this story, Nobel laureate Gunther Grass, shares this view. During a writer's tour of the GDR in the late 1980s, he sees her along with eleven other donor figures at Naumburg Cathedral. And since everything is possible on paper, he decides to invite all those in whose image the artist created realistic sculptures in the XIII century to dine in his garden. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Uta meets him really in the day today - in the squares of Cologne, Milan and Frankfurt. Grass follows her everywhere, looking for meetings. How will she appear to him today? What will they talk about?

The story, originally conceived as a chapter for The Memory Bow, was discovered in Grasse’s archives by his collaborator Hilke Ozoling recently. Now, after the death of the author, this novel, illustrated by the author's graphics, saw the light.
