Epigraph
At the violet hour, when the eyes and back
Turn upward from the desk, when the human engine waits
Like a taxi throbbing waiting . . .

The Wasteland - T.S. Eliot
Dedication
For Meg Ruley and Peggy Godijn
First words
The air in the closet was damp and oppressive, fat with female smells, smells that seemed to invade his skin, silently, deftly, mingling with his own sharp odors, his own cloying musk of fear and excitement.
