About this audiobook
A man weighs grain on a quay in Alexandria, strikes the measure level, and does not yet know the work is already over. The ships still sail; the columns still close; the empire they feed has only stopped being able to want what arrives. Rome does not fall to an army here — it falls when a fleet returns unopened and the grain rots in the hold, correct in every particular and needed by no one. The account has no figure for a thing that balances and still means the end, so it leaves the entry open. It keeps counting into the silence, addressed to a city that is no longer there.
