Author’s Notes:
I’m afraid I have no interesting real-life anecdotes to illustrate this chapter other than to note that my inspiration for this photo was the memory of a particularly grungy bathroom my friend and I once found gracing our cheap hotel room in Athens — when we were very young and more interested in affordable digs in the city center than in luxury.
Oh, and those hypodermics? That comes from a particular briefing I received once in Berlin where my colleagues and I were warned to steer clear of Vienna, which was spy central during the late Cold War. Somebody told a story about an intel officer being almost kidnapped in circumstances involving a powerful muscle relaxant. I don’t think the story was true, but it made for good fiction fodder. Oh, and Vienna? It was particularly lovely in the 80s. What can I say? I’m incorrigible. Always was!
