One Damn Thing After Another (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
No Germans. They had gone home, or they had gone into the town for a massive pot of sauerkraut, which is the Strasbourg cure to most ailments, and nearly all frustrations. She had almost no distance to go. Two minutes’ walk, to the corner of the Boulevard de la Victoire. The University is all around one here, and a week or so before the start of an academic year, there were students everywhere. Looking thoughtful: well they might. Turn left; less than a minute to the busy crossroad of the Boulevard de la Marne, and the Esplanade. The ‘real’ world, the ‘true’ world of commerce, haste, greed. Cars streamed past glued to each other’s tails, all in a hell of a hurry from where, towards where. When the lights changed she ran across quickly, knowing from experience one had better. People in cars don’t like people afoot. What business has anyone being afoot? Such folk are layabouts, parasites, and whatever they’re doing, they’re up to no good. Another minute, along the peaceful backwater of the Rue Vauban, only leading to the Anvers bridge, and the Port du Rhin quarter; which one would prefer to avoid, on the whole.
