Two short texts, one fictional, one meditational. In the first, 'Night Architecture', a leading British architect returns from a foreign trip to his isolated, self-designed East Anglian home beside an estuary. Woken in the night by a strange sound resembling a scream he goes to investigate, only to find himself trapped in a series of strange and disturbing events. The second, 'Sudoxe', is a series of meditations on the 1958 novel
Exodus
by Leon Uris and its popular 1960 American film adaptation. These lead on to some reflections about the relationship of the novel and the film to contemporary events.
