Evangelista's Fan (2008)
“You walked along and along and along it, with all its grey sea underneath, and at the end of it was the Pavilion.
‘Now,’ my father used to say, ‘here we are.’ He was a person who enjoyed destinations. Inside the Pier Pavilion were far more things going on than you could imagine from the outside; it was like a human mind in this one respect. You could drink tea or rum or 7-Up in there. You could play the fruit machines or buy a doll made of varnished shells. You could shoot at a line of tin hens... to win a goldfish. You could talk about your life to a fortune teller or ride a ghost train. There was a section of the great glass roof from which flamenco music came down. And under the music was a Miniature Golf track.
My father and I used to play. Our two miniature golf balls followed each other over bridges and through castle gates and round little slalom arrangements until they reached their destination. This destination was a wishing well and every time we played both of us had to make a wish, no matter who won the game.MoreLess
