Beautiful Distance

A$25 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books

An unnamed narrator sits in a cafe overlooking a train station, sipping a green juice and people-watching. A small white butterfly flutters through the air; a calico cat jumps onto a wall; cherry blossom petals fall to the ground. Life stands still for one moment. He is preparing to visit his terminally ill wife in hospital.
