A place with its own character.
San Francisco changes the scale of the saga. A man can pass through a crowded city with less attention than he receives on a small town’s boardwalk. Rooms can be rented. Work can be found. A name can sound unfamiliar without inviting a question.
The Book of Cain brings the story into that urban world: domestic routines beside busy streets, photography alongside the work of remembering, and the waterfront at the edge of lives that seem to begin and end in the city.
The atmosphere changes, but the saga’s questions remain. What does a person carry into a new place? What does it mean to belong? The city offers possibilities the frontier town cannot—and the novels leave the reader to discover what those possibilities cost.
