a
living
as

depressing

HJ
Lombard
works
at
Parliament,
creates
short
stories
(which
he
occasionally
writes
down),
is
a
compulsive
photographer
and
a
constant
traveller...as
a
result
he
thinks
the
distinction
between
'reality'
and
'fiction'
is
entirely
arbitrary
and
artificial.
Not
very
nice
things
tend
to
happen
in
his
stories.
