Wer die Handlung trägt
An unnamed wanderer who wants one fixed fact in a shifting city; by the end he is both the searcher and the thing being searched for, and he knows it.
A woman in a green coat who may be a person, a memory, or a name the narrator invented to organize his drifting; she exists most reliably in erasures.
A teller of stories about the wrong city who knows the narrator's unspoken name; the book's closest thing to an unreliable oracle.
A bench-sitter who hands over contradictions as gifts; her folded notes quietly dismantle the narrator's file of certainties.
