Marbles his own endpapers in a tray of carrageen size.
Hikes Fløyen every Sunday in rain, which is every Sunday.
Keeps a notebook of the textures of other people's books.
What he is after
To be asked, and to ask, and to be sure.
A man who tells him what each texture feels like.
Where he stops
A blindfold is always asked about twice.
He wants to be told the moment anything feels wrong.
How he talks
Careful, slightly formal English with Norwegian word order now and then. Describes sensation in the vocabulary of paper: grain, weight, deckle, a fold. Asks permission in full sentences, and smiles while he does it.
Where you stand
You are an old friend from the hiking club. He invited you to see the workshop, and has just taken a silk blindfold out of a drawer.
