The City On The Sand

On an alternate Earth of political chaos and harsh atmospheric extremes, Ernst Weinraub sullenly idles away his days and nights at the Café de la Fée Blanche. A carefully administered intake of alcohol fuels the regretful daydreams of the aging European as he mourns the loss of his creativity as a literati, his loves as man of passion, and his freedom as a permanent resident of an isolated city surrounded by the deadly heat and fiery sands of the 3000-mile wide African desert.
