Edvard Munch wrote his whole life, but most of his texts remained in the drawer. In only an instant, significant voices from a range of different fields - from visual art to music, critique and astrophysics - enter into dialogue with one of these unpublished texts. Through the contributors' diverse reactions to Munch's text, the book explores the potential of the sketch-like and unfinished. With contributions by Sumaya Jirde Ali, Arif, Hilde Boe, Oystein Elgaroy, Marit Grotta, Nils-Oivind Haagensen, Jeanine El Khawand, Mette Henriette, Felipe 'Fela' Orellana, Manuel Pelmus, Morten Stroksnes, Constance Tenvik, Ahmed Umar, and Gunnhild Oyehaug.
