Humor may be the best medicine, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can't cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life.

With his unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude--only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Dominic Carpenter teaches French literature and creative writing at Carleton College (MN).
