“I wanted her body and soul, but body first.”
Philip Sington, The Valley of Unknowing

“Desire is an appetite, quickly sated. Longing is a wound, an opening in the heart or the spirit. Whatever the cause, whatever the duration, it almost always leaves a scar.”
Philip Sington, The Valley of Unknowing

“We drank our coffee the Russian way. That is to say we had vodka before it and vodka afterwards.”
Philip Sington, The Valley of Unknowing

Philip Sington
“The railway was part scalpel, part movie camera, slicing the city open, parading its inner workings at fifty frames per second. It was on the S-Bahn that she felt least abandoned, as if the act of travelling turned back the clock, and brought her nearer to the future she had lost.”
Philip Sington, The Einstein Girl

Philip Sington
“Old Prague was a story-book city caked in grime: ancient, soot-blackened. History lived in every detail: in the deerstalker rooftops and the blue-sparking trams. He wandered the streets in disbelief, photographing everything, images from Kafka crowding into his head. With the turn of every corner it came back to him: the special frisson you get behind enemy lines.”
Philip Sington, Zoia's Gold
