A strange little tale that ties itself up and finally concedes defeat by its conclusion.

It takes place in a seedy European bar, with a would-be murderer relating his crime, and the reasons for it, to an assembled crowd of drunkards and societal detritus.

The telling is far better than the story being told, and the ending? What a shame. ( )
