Story Snippet

I find myself sitting next to Sissel on the six-hour train journey from Trondheim to Oslo. She is an elegant elderly lady with a wicked laugh. She is a native of Trondheim who used to be the projectionist at the Cinemateket where I delivered my lecture on Thursday. She is on her way to Oslo airport to head for Berlin, her first visit there since 1977. The last time she went she tried to call David Bowie and Iggy Pop. She found the phone number of their flat under James Osterberg in the phone book. She rang but a woman answered and said they were out.
