A new apartment. A new city. The boxes remain in the corner, unopened. This formal, unhurried memoir documents an arrival. It is a record of an individual mind attempting to find a rhythm in an unfamiliar place, a place defined by its constant, wet spring and its sensory intrusions.
For the narrator, the world is reduced to the immediate and the auditory: the constant whir-click of a fan needed to fill the silence, the dip-dip of a leaking tap, the violent clang of a radiator, and the thud-scrape of an unseen neighbor.
To escape the sounds, there is walking. To avoid the close air of public transport, there is only the pavement. Block by block, the city is learned not by its maps, but by its errors: the misspelled sign, the mismatched brick, the crack in the stone.
But observation is not a shield. An unpacked box, a photograph of a hand, a recurring memory of a silent, white room the past intrudes on the grey, wet present. The Sound of the Walls is a slow, unflinching meditation on solitude, the mechanics of seeing, and the quiet labor of finding a place in a world of noise. It is a precise and formal portrait of a mind in motion.
