“It is odd how, when you have announced that you are leaving, it is as if you are already gone, even if your physical departure still lies months away. People begin to erase you from their minds, and you walk the halls with a feeling of growing transparency.”
Paul Watkins, The Fellowship of Ghosts: A Journey Through the Mountains of Norway

“I looked at Tarbox and saw he was a dangerous and ugly man. It was as if he had been born in someone's nightmare, then kicked his way out of their head.”
Paul Watkins, The Promise of Light

“The woman smiles and says, "Hey," the standard Norwegian greeting.
I "Hey" back, but then she says a whole sentence and I am force to explain, in English, that I have no idea what she is saying. I feel like a fraud, and I see a change in the focus of her eyes. I am a stranger, and even if I am no less welcome, I am still a stranger.”
Paul Watkins, The Fellowship of Ghosts: A Journey Through the Mountains of Norway
