  Mansarda cover  

Mansarda

Mansarda concerns a young man known only as "Orpheus" who lives in a garret where he creates various fictional worlds. He loses the woman he really loves, then he gets a woman he really doesn't want, all the while disputing the meaning of the world with his room-mate, Billy Wise Ass. Orpheus experiences an epiphany one night when he reads the register of names in the vestibule of his apartment building. His neighbors' lives are far richer and more real than anything he can invent.
