Strong

Acupuncturist

An acupuncturist, a colleague, told me today that my hands weren’t strong enough to be a masseur. He advised me to become a homeopath and he offered me another glass of his homemade schnapps.
As you can see on the picture below: the Romanian masseur should soothe the buttocks of his clients as well.

I would like to read the blue text in the photograph. Do you know Arnon, what it sais? I can read 'therapie' i think..

O, and is the Romanian masseur allowed to wear flip-flops?

The poor man has far more hair on his back than on his head. He deserves getting his buttocks massaged.

Does the master comment on your actions all the time or is he just towering above you in silence? If he had a small whip or a stick in his hands the picture would be complete.

The master speaks nothing but Romanian.

Well, he could comment in Romanian and support it by gesturing, couldn't he?

The master doesn't gesture. Take a look at him. Do you really think this guy is going to gesture?

Congratulations on the setting of your massageadventure. I don't know how you do it, but you seem always to find the most peculiar spot- a sulfurbath in Romania-, to surround you with colourful people - an impressive master- wich make your encounters even more thrilling.

do you ever feel disguisted by touching them?

No never.

Haha. This is getting sillier and sillier. A heavyweigted 'Master' has entered the stage to increase suspense a little more. Pieces of buttocks are being shown. Are we heading for frontal nudity? Gay porn? Sadomasochism? What will happen if the Master gets angry?
Ofcourse I hope it will totally spin out of control like one of your novels. But I've got a feeling you've got a steadier grip on reality than most of your protagonists.

I admit I can't imagine more than an indifferent wave of his hand. So it's just towering, then. Does he make you feel uncomfortable or does it feel natural? He seems to come quite close at times (I'm thinking of the picture where he sits behind you and his leg touches your back).

I didn't make myself clear. I meant: are you, as an American masseur in Romania, allowed to wear your good old New York flip-flops?
said Hanny Verheezen 23/07/2009 14:20 • x
i think, i like the master!
arnon, could we have a nearer foto of his face?

If the master gets angry with me you will never hear from me again.
said Arnon Grunberg 23/07/2009 21:44 • x
i wish i could show my belly with so much majesty

The picture really gives an impression of Roman emperor and his slave boy.
