The alienation, the alternating peace, and the ultimate: the search for self and maybe even meaning. Is hope coming along with the loyalty of Ishmael? You continue to intrigue, Kathleen.
A great chapter, Kate. "The side streets from Westbahnstraße looked like perfectly set up perspective drawings. The lines of all the bricks and pavement stones converged over and over again at the focal point with nothing in its way, nothing moving." I was really struck by this passage and the way it emphasises how the physical city is such a major challenge in this story. Excellent writing.

Appreciate the kind words, Jeffrey! I’m so fascinated by these aspects of the city.
