He’s been bothered by strange knocking from the apartment downstairs, and visions of some pale-faced apparition that may or may not be a symptom of his self-imposed isolation. Barden is a man who likes solitude not because he enjoys it, but because he’s afraid of trying anything else. But he’s started hearing the first low peels of bellsong in the foggy Parisian night, and soon he may find the call of at least one of those long and lonely notes too enticing to ignore.</p><p><br></p><p>Literature recommendation: <a href=\"https://amzn.to/34pnSCC\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">”The House of Sand and Fog” by Andre Dubus III</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening!
