About This Book

A delicate, bookish boy with a conspicuous facial wound is raised by an elderly, scholarly father who runs a second-hand bookshop; together they move between the intimate, lamp-lit sanctuary of books and the sodden, oppressive streets of a great city. The narrative traces the boy's encounter with urban harshness, his emotional and imaginative responses to theatre and language, and the father's tender guidance, probing themes of vulnerability, the consolations of literature, and the tension between inner life and public disorder.
