Imaginary Wealth and Dominion in a Prisoner’s Tale
A long, disjointed arc of quotations and narrative fragments describes a venerable prisoner with grand ambitions and delusions of wealth. The piece alternates with domestic stories of marriage, betrayal, poverty, and reconciliation, then shifts to political and cholera-era observations, ending with a sombre note on epidemic reach and European fear of Britain.
