A man is walking along the street. It’s the main street in the town he does not know at all, where he has stopped accidentally and has to spend a few hours. He is not in a hurry, so he’s walking slowly looking around, listening, letting thoughts to flow across his head. He stops from time to time and then goes on walking flapping and clacking... walking along the street-sentence... reading-writing this sentence-street... This is not a book about a street. This is not a book about what's going on in a street. This is a book about what's going on in the head of somebody walking along a street.
