Exhibit A

Samuel in the Sauna

Dad has been going to the pool in recent months to try improve circulation to a bad leg. But in the last week something odd has been happening.

- Well one day I didn’t feel like swimming so I went to the steam room. I couldn’t see a thing in there, but I sat down. I was startled when this voice came up from a big puff of steam. The voice says he’s Latvian and engages me in profound philosophical discussion, we discuss the nature of being, the afterlife and briefly talk about bikinis. Then the voice excuses himself and the conversation ends.

I went back the next day and the same thing happens: a discombobulated voice with a foreign accent. This time he asks me about the direction of my life and am I happy with it, he says he is a baker but knows a lot about art. We cover the Russian modernists.

I’ve gone back every day this week to speak to the voice in the steam and I can’t be sure about the body anymore.
