Meredith Escudier

I can still see the face of the crêpe vendor on the Boulevard St. Michel. He had a dour face on the sallow side with a vacant stare, a gaze seemingly lost in space. All his customers got the look-through as if they were a bunch of bothersome phantoms flocking around his stand. - excerpt from Decrêpitude
