Autumn Maze (2013)
“Traffic heading up it, towards the wealth and social snobbery of the eastern suburbs, goes through a tunnel under the sleaze of the Cross, as swimmers dive under a river’s pollution. On the left-hand side of the long slope are several tall office blocks, a four-star hotel and a mix of shabby shops that were to have disappeared in a grand boulevard plan that somehow kept slipping off the drawingboard. On the right-hand side the buildings are old and dilapidated, some of them looking as if they are only held together by the FOR SALE and FOR LEASE signs plastered across their fronts. There had once been a dozen or more car showrooms on this side, but now there are only three or four. At the bottom of the slope are the Rolls-Royce showrooms, outside of which at night the hookers parade in skimpy outfits that do nothing for the image of Rolls or Royce.
The building housing Pinatubo Medical Engineering was halfway up the hill, on the right-hand side. At eleven o’clock on the Monday morning ...the hookers were still at home, getting over the labours of Sunday night services.MoreLess
