kamil is in town

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Dr Zaniewski, a friend from half a lifetime ago, made it to our place despite my instructions.

You'd think that sending him on the loopy route down the DVP then onto Don Mills and zig-zagging across to the Beaches would keep anyone at bay. But then that would be underestimating a Geography professor. Rats!

Kenny didn't remember Kamil at first, until Mari reminded him "He's the friend who gave you the pillow with the moose on it." The path to a boy's heart is through his toy chest, apparently.
