At the end of the 1980s, a writer who very much resembles Gü nter Grass passes through East Germany on a book tour and visits the Cathedral of Naumburg with its famous twelve donor statues. He invites the sculptor's models to dinner-and they come, not as ghosts, but just as alive as they were in the thirteenth century.   Toward the end of dinner, after drinking an icy Coca-Cola, the model for the famed beauty Uta von Naumburg declares she has to go to work: she's a living statue.  
As he continues touring around Europe, the writer looks for Uta and her donation basket outside every cathedral he passes. At last, in Frankfurt, he sees her in front of a Deutsche Bank and the two have a meeting with staggering consequences. As Grass said, "on paper everything is possible", and in this tale he gleefully erases the line between life and death, present and past.
