Description
A quiet Sunday afternoon, the last day of summer. In his room at Number 18, a nervous young man is storing his things: a small clay figure, covert photographs of his neighbors, pieces of urban junk.

With heart-stopping clarity, the lives of a city street are brought indelibly before the reader, taking on a focus like Polaroids on the page.
