Le Yack - Because of the Sun - Hand signed

Lying on a towel, on the roof of a brick building, she reads. Only her eyes are visible above the book, and they look at you. Next to her, a silent transistor. Behind, the entire city in the heat haze.
It's too hot to do anything else. She reads the story of a man whom the sun has made a stranger to himself — and she seems about to understand why.
Summer noon light, sharp shadows on the gravel of the roof. The skyscrapers are treated as veils of golden mist, almost erased; the brick and skin in the foreground, in warm, dense dough.
