Who Is Jan Snupij?
drsmax has been following the directives of my journal and has submitted a theme for me. The theme is actually a question: "Who Is Jan Snupij?"
Over the next week or so I will be creating a portrait of Jan Snupij in eight parts.
In attempting to unravel the biography of a great man, sometimes one has to begin at the end and work backwards:
viii.
On the last day of Jan Snupij's life, a day that he had known was coming since the night before, he put on a hat that had once been a favorite of his grandfather's and walked to the park. He had always loved wearing the hat when he was younger, because of the contrast between itself in its well-constructed angular coarseness and his smooth, young face. Over the years, the contrast had vanished, but he still loved wearing the hat.
