'Caligo Lane' goes deeper into the origami element: Here we follow Franny Travers, the cartographer, who creates a new map following the postcard she received from her native country (Poland); in addition, she has Jewish origins. With her maps she can create direct passages, convenient when politics or similar make it hard to travel from one place or country to another. We're still in (misty) San Francisco, mainly near Russian Hill. The Golden Gate bridge, also depicted on the cover, has been in use for a few years now. Caligo Lane, where Franny lives, can not be found, not even by the postman. You can only arrive there by happenstance. As the Nazis were persecuting Jewish people in Europe (see here, for example), Franny tries to save as much of her people as possible via her magical cartographer skills.

Long story short: A story very much recommended, including the short story 'Caligo Lane', which complements the main novella.
