註釋
In a shady bar in Amsterdam, the man who does the talking in The Fall is indulging in a calculated confession. He recalls his past life as a respected Parisian lawyer, a pleader of noble causes, secure in his own self-esteem, privately a libertine, yet apparently immune to judgment--the portrait of a modern man. The irony of the recital predicts the downfall. Inescapable, it comes in the narrator's intense discovering, in the space of one terrible and unforgettable instant, that no man is innocent and no man may therefore judge others from a standpoint of righteousness.
