    Gus
    A Black writer visits a small Swiss village for the first time and finds himself the object of uncomfortable stares from the all-White residents, who have likely never seen a Black person before. The villagers' open yet ignorant curiosity about his race highlights how unfamiliarity and lack of exposure can breed fear and unease toward those who are different.
