“His expression I remember from the first time I met him. Open, direct. But no longer anonymous. I know certain telling details now. Like he can’t stand his brother and he gets one haircut a year. He likes Raymond Chandler and John Irving, Wallce Stegner and Joan Didion. That he loves the blues and songs that tell stories. Riding the ferries just to be on water. His favorite flavor is caramel.”
