2. The Characters
Crazy eyes. Red. Taystee. Litchfield Penitentiary is filled with characters. And so is life overseas. Everyone where I live has a “guy.” An upholstery guy. A rug guy. A car guy. Friendly characters that offer good prices and build relationships with the Americans here. The first time someone came and took our car to repair it he arrived under cover of darkness. I don’t believe he even knew my name. There was no paperwork. No exchange of information. Just a handshake and a key. I was nervous that we’d never see the car again. But we did, and now we have a car guy.
