Ivanov Tolstoy doesn't mind being alone, he has been for years and is even more since moving from Russia to the US. He spends his time memorizing books and fixing watches. Acting nihilistic is his specialty, but anyone can see he's a hopeless romantic.

sorry about the working title, but yeah, this is sorta like The Goldfinch vegas chapters except not repressed and certainly less masterful than Ms Tartt's writing.
