“The Atelier When the front doorbell rang, the silence in my atelier seemed to implode, like a balloon that has suddenly lost all its air.
I turned away from the computer screen where I had been sitting for a long time, and looked at the door in bewilderment. Before I start to write, I always turn off both the telephone and the intercom. It is impossible to reach me then. If someone calls me on the phone, they will think I’m away from home, or don’t want to answer, and if someone rings at the entrance to the building downstairs, I won’t hear it at all and will thus be unable to let them in. But someone had obviously entered, someone whom I hadn’t let in, and who was now standing in front of my door.
I got up irritably and headed for the front door of the atelier. I can’t stand being interrupted while working. No one has the right to disturb me, particularly now that my time is running out. I couldn’t imagine who it might be. It certainly could not be someone from the building d...ropping by for a visit, because I had not cultivated even the most attenuated friendship with any of my neighbours.MoreLess
