Considerations for your work:
* How do your characters interact with their domestic spaces? Are they spaces of their creation or are they at odds with them? Are they safe or dangerous places?
* To what extent do the interior domestic spaces in your fiction reflect culture? Consider the culture of the setting as well as other cultures the characters may bring into that space.
* How does the apartment living space offer a way to understand at once your character(s) within it and the city in which it resides? How does the rest of the building affect the individual?
Feel free to share your related work or recommendations in the comments.
Texts:
* Graham Greene - Brighton Rock
