… Through the glass walls, it’s as if I am seeing myself, my room, my nightshirt, my motions, repeating themselves a thousand times. This cheers me up: one sees oneself
as part of an enormous, powerful unit. Page 31.
… We were in R’s room… Everything was exactly like mine: the Table, the glass of the
chairs, table, closet, and bed. Page 38.

Among the brightly lighted, transparent cages there are darkened ones with lowered blinds… - what is happening, what is behind
her blinds? Page 25.
[I writes] “The ticket… you must lower the blinds, as if I was actually there with you…”

Should I hide them? But where? Everything is glass. Should I light it on fire? But they [The Guardians] would see me from the corridor
and the neighboring rooms. Page 145.

I stole a look: they [The Guardians] were walking from room to room, beginning on the right-hand end of the corridor, and
coming closer and closer. Page 145.

3 Opaqueness
The glimmering of mirrors, gloomy closets, intolerably multi-colored sofas, a vast “fireplace”,
and a mahogany bed. The only evidence of our contemporary, excellent, transparent, and eternal
glass was in their pathetic, fragile, mini-quadrilateral windows.

Unfamiliarity

locked, except for the one, “our” apartment, and there was nobody there…

Run-on sentence
Then – an explosion: a door slammed all the way downstairs, someone rapidly stamped
along the flagstones. Page 84.
A second pause at the door. He was dully stamping up here. If only for that door! I
pleaded with the door, but it was wooden: it started to creak and then howled.
Page 85.
There was a kind of vague drone. It may be machines, it may be voices – I didn’t know
anything but that I was next to a heavy, opaque door and the drone was coming from it.
Page 86.
I knocked, and I knocked again – louder. Things quieted down behind the door.
Something clanked, the door slowly, heavily opened to me.
