Transit

The story takes place in Marseille, set in an amalgam of several decades, within an imaginary historical context of a German occupation. Certain citizens from across the Rhine, like Georg, need to flee the continent by boat. In the city of Marseille, Georg is hoping to obtain a visa and, like many others, he waits and drifts with no other purpose. His path (narrowly) crosses that of a writer - who has committed suicide and whose identity Georg takes on.
