‘The Story of the Straight Line' is a fairy tale about a tiny dot with a burning ambition to be a straight line; the longest straight line the world has ever seen... In addition to the audio track, the story is available in an exclusive printed edition. A beautifully designed leporello (accordion booklet) with a witty one-line drawing by Else Boekema.

'A weird and wonderful fairy tale for our frenzied time. The Story of the Straight Line is about blind belief in progress and the price we pay for that. The story spins and twists like a run on a thumb piano, sparkling under the Milky Way.' 
David Van Reybrouck, author of Congo and Revolusi

‘Subversive, disconcerting, paradigm-corroding and urgently important’
Charles Foster, author of Cry of the Wild

‘The Story of the Straight Line’ is part of the album OAK of Nynke Laverman.
