Nothing is of its own explanation. Is there a better description of a cube than that of its construction? There was a war on, and yet, it is my understanding that many of the sites of my projects survived; they remained there, still in the city. When the terrible recollections of what happened in Europe cease to humiliate us, I expect for them to serve instead as a political stimulus, sparking the upheavals that so frequently occur and cycles ofโฆ

An unpredictable narrative from the perspective of Bruno, an ex-prisoner of Germany with a notable lack of social development, who sees a country withoutโฆ
