The Chamberstork
Kamarihaikara
One day a poet living in a tiny apartment finds an enormous egg on his table. The creature that hatches out of it astounds the entire building. It arouses the poet’s longing for freedom and his fighting spirit. Finally, after sacrifices of the poet, the skinny fledgling develops into a full-grown bird and rewards its exhausted keeper. Part Two of Lillqvist’s Kafka trilogy.
