Simon Bookish Houseboats
Vivid architecture
An enormous university
Vast domed ceilings
Huge, tiled resonant halls
15 story high towers in ornately-laid red brick
Minarets, labyrinths and oubliettes
In utter disorientation
Wheeling a library trolley
Visiting a series of strange sunken houseboats
Grey mists
Men and women
Sinking slowly
