Renee wakes up in December and understands that she’s the best guitarist in Mendocino County and, very possibly, the world. So, with little left to do on that front, she sells her ’67 Epiphone to a bug-eyed clerk and moves to Paris.

Paris is full of people who moved to Paris, so she moves to Salzburg.

In Salzburg she buys a camera and sells landscapes for cash; she crashes on a couch with four grad students she met in a castle. She wakes up in June and finds that she’s almost happy.

She sells her camera and moves to Kyoto.
