Brilliant take on how aesthetics create experience independent of authenticity. The contrast between nighttime magic and daylight reality at Frankfurt's markets really captures something about modern tourism that most people dont wanna admit. That whole section about off-duty elves and their fag-in-mouth disillusionment is comedy gold but also kinda depressing when you think abuot it.
