Postcard

Chana writes on behalf of Sala's friends in the wake of Sala's visit home. She asks "Are you still under the spell of your experiences [at home] or have you come back to reality." The question, like the rest of the letter and other leters connotes the gaping divide that Sala's friends and family perceive separates them their dear Sala.
