The Tobacconist

I doodled this whilst reading Robert Seethaler's The Tobacconist (Translated by Charlotte Collins). It's a great book and I highly recommend it. This scene in particular grabbed my attention. Normally I don't like the trope of 'main character has inspirational talk with historical figure', but Seethaler's style is so subtle, you almost forget that the character is talking to Sigmund Freud, but rather a wise older gentleman. It was a nice conversation, the kind you always wish you could have with people, as opposed to "weather's turned mighty bitter".
