Festival For Three Thousand Women (1991) - Plot & Excerpts
Good fortune. Bobby took the night train, hoping to get to Cherry’s town early enough to find her house and knock on her door. But as he neared the town he grew tentative. Would she be glad to see him? Were these things reversible, the midnight visits of mourning friends? Was he in fact mourning, or did he just want to see her? He worried all the way to Chonan, but when he got off the train and came out of the station it was not yet ten, and his mood expanded. He asked a young cab driver if he knew where the American black girl lived, and the driver said that though he did not, he had seen her often enough. He said he knew her tearoom so Bobby got in his cab. “She’s pretty, eh, the black girl?” said the driver. “Are you sure you know the right tearoom?” Bobby asked. The driver didn’t answer, but in less than a minute he pulled up in front of the DeLuxe Tearoom. “Do you want me to wait?” he asked. “If you want me to I can wait a while.” Bobby said that waiting would be fine and went inside.
