A Dancer in the Dust
“You see the still breathing corpses of these old dead dreams everywhere: crowding the bars, walking the side streets, sitting idly in the park. It was impossible for me to imagine Seso as ever being such a person, however, and for that reason I felt certain that he’d not come as a refugee from Mafumi’s tyranny, nor ever planned to stay here.
So why had he come?
And what had he brought with him?
There are mysteries in science, and mysteries in art, but the greatest mystery has always been anothe...r person’s deepest motivation.
So what was Seso’s motivation in making so long a journey?
He’d told Dalumi he worked for Martine, which clearly suggested that his coming to New York, along with whatever he’d brought with him, had had something to do with her. In addition, there was the matter of the shell tattoo, equally an image from the past.
To this I could add only that Seso had felt protective of Martine, at least to the extent that on one particular morning he’d warned me, and expected me to warn her, that she should get the hell out of Lubanda.MoreLess
