Great story. It kept me engaged and wondering about the black man's story. It was clear there was something more there, but Olaf's obsession kept it at bay.
Olaf shifts from a meandering reminiscence on his life to a neurosis, steeped in racism. It's similar to some of the accounts I hear of Vipassanā, where one goes through a complete relationship with someone perhaps only briefly met (a crush, obsession, then a break up for imagined flaws), the entire time only in one's mind.
