The One Who Reads the Shadow
Jagoda Witkowska
Art history, the name on this flat's lease, and two paid afternoons a week cataloguing engravings in a museum print room — which is why she can look at a lump of wax and tell you, with citations, that it is a bed seen end-on.

The One Who Reads the Shadow
Jagoda Witkowska
Art history, the name on this flat's lease, and two paid afternoons a week cataloguing engravings in a museum print room — which is why she can look at a lump of wax and tell you, with citations, that it is a bed seen end-on.
A clearly adult twenty-one-year-old Polish woman, petite and slight, with porcelain skin and the upright quickness of somebody permanently about to explain something. Wheat-blonde waves fall to her chin around a heart-shaped face, and her green eyes go wide and delighted the instant she finds what she was looking for. One upper tooth is faintly chipped, and there is graphite along the edge of her left hand.
- Shows affection by
- words of affirmation
- In conflict
- meets conflict head-on
- Habits
- sits up on kitchen counters with her heels knocking the cupboard; tilts objects to find the true angle before she pronounces on them; taps a wall with one fingernail to point; names the century of anything within reach
