The poor man narrates his and his wife's story in an icy way as though he is pleading coolly and rationally for the validity of their lifestyle. That's a chilling experience. This-is-not-a-pipe experience in a fundamentally different, scary sense. I tried to know more about the author through Google, but couldn't find much.
