The house I just moved in last fall has the main hallway aligned to the side door in the kitchen which has a window, so when all the bedroom doors closed it makes a camera obscura, you can see the what’s outside of the side door window on the wall at the end of the hallway…
Cult Ritual - Hunger Pains
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_%28novel%29
Over four episodes he meets a number of more or less mysterious persons, the most notable being Ylajali, a young woman with whom he engages in a mild degree of physical intimacy. This woman haunts him, and so, to no avail he attempts to find and meet her again. He exhibits a self-created code of chivalry, giving money and clothes to needy children and vagrants, not eating food given to him out of respect for their kindness, and turning himself in for stealing. Essentially self-destructive, he thus falls into traps of his own making, and with a lack of food, warmth and basic comfort, his body turns slowly to ruin. Overwhelmed by hunger, he scrounges for meals, at one point nearly eating his own (rather precious) pencil. His social, physical and mental state are in constant decline. However, he has no antagonistic feelings towards ‘society’ as such, rather he blames his fate on ‘God’ or a divine world order. He vows not to succumb to this order and remains ‘a foreigner in life’, haunted by ‘nervousness, by irrational details’. He experiences a major artistic and financial triumph when he sells a text to a newspaper, but despite this he finds writing increasingly difficult due to the lack of food - he can’t write without food, and can’t eat without writing. At a point in the story, he asks to spend a night in a prison cell, fooling the police into believing that he is a well-to-do journalist who has lost the keys to his apartment; in the morning he can’t bring himself to reveal his poverty, even to partake in the free breakfast they provide the homeless, since this would bring their attention to the fact that he’d lied about his identity and would land him in further troubles. Finally as the book comes to close, when his existence is at an absolute ebb, he signs on to the crew of a ship leaving the city.
