The book transfers the prose work 'The Letter of Lord Chandos' by Hugo von Hofmannsthal into a typographical interpretation using a series of black-and-white collages. The text starts with large typography which displays text fragments of Hofmannsthal’s letter. The words seem to fall apart on the pages; they are not quite tangible, similar to the way in which Lord Chandos addresses the loss of his linguistic expression in the letter. The complete text is set in a smaller font on the following pages. The size of the type area is based on the dimensions of a folded letter paper.
