Elijah’s Chair
Elijah’s Chair

Summary/Abstract: Among the things I brought back from Sarajevo not one attests to my brief and extraordinarily strange friendship with Simon. Wise and unpredictable Simon; the time has come to write about him. Especially because both he and his story have to some extent become entwined with my own, and they played a role in pushing me down the path which, unwittingly, I have been following. Nevertheless, I’m still not crazy enough to imagine that everything that happened to me from the sixth of April, 1992 to the present was fated to have a particular place in a chain of events whose sole purpose was to bring me to the anteroom of death, a kitschy hotel room on Vienna’s Naschmarkt.
