Garlic vs Sauerkraut
Lebe Wohl, Mein Flandrisch' Mädchen from Zar und Zimmermann by Lortzing
Chapter 6 is another return to 1938. I am trying to write the novel in the order as I want it to appear in the final version (if I ever get that far), but it’s quite difficult to write about Vienna when in Paris, so I think that tomorrow, I’ll jump ahead and write the Paris section, then return to the Vienna part later. It is a bit bonkers to be assailed by the smells of garlic, crêpes and Gitanes, yet be writing about gingerbread, boiled pork and Sauerkraut.
