When I speak⟳ of the experience⟳ of the citydweller, I subsume a variety of things under this notion. On the one hand, I speak⟳ of the modern citizen, who knows he is at the mercy of vast bureaucratic machinery, whose functioning is streered by authorities who remain⟳ nebulous even to the executive organs themselves, let⟳ alone the people they deal⟳ with. (It is well known that this encompasses one level of meaning in the novels, especially in The Trial.) On the other hand, by modern citydwellers I am speaking of the contemporary of today's physicist.”

“Leland would not have⟳ been able to ignore⟳ the fact of cities even if he had not been living in them. He was, however, a citydweller, and, due to his father's business acumen, an upper-middle-class citydweller.”
