About this audiobook
Through the gaslight of London, an observer tracks a decrepit figure who refuses to stop moving until the sun rises. The pursuit reveals a soul so terrified of solitude that it must endlessly swim in the river of humanity to escape its own conscience. It is a haunting sketch of the anonymity and secret despair found in the modern city.
