This was taken while the Croatian war was still happening. We were in the Zadar hinterlands and Luc was about to loose his car...Unlike me, Luc travels light, carries very little camera gear. When I go to the cafe to read the paper and drink my morning espresso I carry more gear than Luc had in the war, and I'm not even shooting pictures these days. But what Luc did carry was heavy reading. Around this time the book in his jacket pocket was Robert Musil's incredibly long but still unfinished novel "The Man Without Qualities." It runs 1600 pages and deals with the moral and intellectual decline of the Austro-Hungarian empire. What's interesting is since the break-up of Yugoslavia, the Austro-Hungarian empire has been attempting to put itself back together. Not in the overt political sense, but emotionally. Like a lot of top journalists, Luc enjoys a good cigar after dinner.
