Trieste.
This

tantalized
Jan
Morris
with
its
moodiness
and
changeability.
After

a
century,
she
has
come
to
see
it
as
a
touchstone
for
her
interests

preoccupations:
cities,
seas,
empires.
It

and
memories.
Her
meditation
on
Trieste
is
characteristically
layered
with
history
and
glows
with
stories

Freud.
