In "The London Boys" we are guided through the memories of Tom, a young woman who is trying to understand why she continually draws the figure of a strange man over and over. As the figure slowly reveals himself in Tom's mind, she undergoes a journey of transformation inspired by the alchemical process found in Pernety's "Dictionnaire mytho-herm tique". Music guides the reader through this transformation as Tom begins to understand her obsession with a city, a river, and a man that seems to be both.
