could sense the moment when it would rise like an immense pane of glass in
the middle of the strait”

A man waits to be killed in a town by the sea,
probably in North Africa. His room is described, the sound of the elevator,
its vibrations, the light at different hours, the shifting positions of the
men waiting below for him who follow him in their Buick, slowly at a
distance, then so close that only their faces are visible in his rearview
mirror. Chronology is jumbled. It is never certain when and whether he is
apprehended. The climax is all through the story.

The narrator of The Park watches from his window, his
balcony: the avenue, the park, the couple in the apartment across the way.
He is attached to the woman. He returns to his notebook. She is someone he
has loved or hopes to love. He is a friend dead in the war. I is sometimes a
child, sometimes the author and sometimes He. The words of the book are
those being written in the notebook.

Starting (first condition, lines, engraving - beginning
of the game) may be the stablest element that clusters behind the eyes and
forehead. He quickly takes stock. There is a chain of maritime memories
passing into his right arm: he catches them by surprise half-asleep, foam
swept up by the wind. (more) |
