The Suitcase
§ 01
Synopsis
The Narrator favors homespun stories, but has decided to tell us a French one: one day our hero, Franswah Jackoh, took a walk down the streets of Paris and into a museum. What he found there changed his life and connected him to the wellspring of his national culture.
Recounted with style and flair by our Narrator, this story of the State of European Civilization takes us deep into the hearts of a father and son and asks us to consider what we are responsible for in the wake of enormous tragedy.
