Norman,
water color on paper, 5x7 inch
Living
in Bangkok makes Norman feel alive 24/7, at a constant peak, feeding off the
relentless energy
flowing all around. His older sister
back in London disapproves. She worries
that he’ll never
come back and settle down. When’s the
last time you had a girlfriend who was your own age
and white, she says. What will happen
when you’re old? What can Norman say, he’s become a
Bangkok addict, needs his Thai energy fix every day. Going back to England
would leave him cold.
