Adrian Plau
Adrian Plau is a London-based Norwegian completing a Ph.D. on medieval Indian poetry.
Making the Ping
The first time he came to our house I was six or seven. My sister and I were playing on the carpet in the living room. Mom told us to be quiet and he sat down heavily on the couch. She served him a glass of water and we watched him drink it. His flannel shirt made crisp little tearing sounds against the cushion covers. Mom made those herself out of yarn from the hobby store.
