vibes Posted April 28, 2006 Report Posted April 28, 2006 Some 10 years ago, a former girlfriend asked me to help her interpret a short story she had to read for a class. I'd really like to read the story again, but I can't remember the author or the title. It's an existentialist story, and the only thing I can remember is that the protagonist is in a tunnel or sewer beneath a city, and at one point in the story, watches some church or religious ceremony and feels anger or resentment towards the people and what they're doing. That's about all I can remember. Can anyone help me find this story? Quote

vibes Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Posted April 28, 2006 I'm doing fine. Really. I think I found the story (well, my wife did): "The Man Who Lived Underground," by Richard Wright. Quote
