Here is the plot of the novella: The protagonist moves to Budapest from January to July. She decides to make it her ritual to walk to work every morning. The walk is about 6 miles and takes about 2 hours. She leaves at 7:30 AM and arrives at 9:30 AM. She also decides to read during her daily walk. Here are the 20-something books she has in hand for reading while walking: Simulacra & Simulation, Philosophical Investigations, Chess Story, Chelsea Girls, A Season in Hell & Illuminations, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair, What is Art?, Society of the Spectacle, Kokoro, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, The Hour of the Star, The Magic Mountain, Ada, or Ardor, Old Masters, Essays of Arthur Schopenhauer, The Savage Detectives, By Night in Chile, All Fires the Fire, Swann's Way, Blood Meridian, The Memory of Fire: Genesis, Manifestoes of Surrealism, King Lear, Moby-Dick, Capital of Pain, Steppenwolf, Discipline and Punish. It's simply a random selection of the books she has hoarded in the past. On the way back, she takes the city bus instead of walking. After she gets back home, she eats dinner, rests, works a bit more perhaps, and before going to bed she writes about the morning walk on that day. Sometimes, unexpected companies would join her for the walk, such as a hobo, a refugee, a circus lion, a ghost, her own doubleganger... Sometimes she takes a different route or a detour or follows a cat, sometimes it snows, sometimes it rains, sometimes she reads fiction, sometimes poetry or philosophy, sometimes she's happy, sometimes she's a bit sad or tired or cold. It's a story about searching for happiness from within oneself, making peace with pains and moving on, as well as staying observant in repetitions, as even the most exotic landscapes will grow old and faded, but one always lives in a different moment every moment. 

Another thing about this novella is that it actually belongs to a novel — it will be inserted in the novel as it's meant to be a novella written by the main character of the novel.
