...workshops. He pays four years' advance rent on an attic, a "cave" where he can "agonize in secret," buys some paper, a Waterman Ideal pen, a bed, a mug, a plate, a crate of oranges and a sack of coarse oatmeal. Except that he is "tired and sick to death of all people who on earth do dwell," he has no enemy in the world. But soon he has plenty.
