Placebo (2013)
“As time passes, three more couples come and meet with other research assistants, but Philip stays with us.
I’m getting frustrated that things aren’t moving along more quickly, and by 11:30 I’m seriously annoyed and wondering why all of this couldn’t have been taken care of before we came to the center.
A few minutes later, Serenity enters the room, pushing a cart containing our lunch—coffee, a platter of fresh fruit and veggies that I imagine were probably grown here at the center, and ...vegetarian subs on gluten-free bread.
I eat quickly.
Just as I’m finishing, Dr. Tanbyrn arrives.
He looks like he’s in his early eighties and walks with an elaborately carved cane. He’s bald with a grizzled beard, wears thick, out-of-style trifocals and thrift-store clothes, and has a dusty, professorial look about him.
At first I catch myself thinking that he doesn’t dress anything like a Nobel laureate should dress, but then I’m struck with the thought that he’s wearing exactly what I would expect an eighty-year-old physics genius to wear.MoreLess
