He rented an extra room in our flat to store his alphabetically arranged scientific papers, manga and novels. As our rotting five-bedroom bungalow shook to The Cure and Prince, he tacked Bach and Hemingway posters to the walls. After late-night ward rounds at Wellington Hospital, he pored over extramural university papers on statistics, economics and the philosophy of aesthetics. His idea of relaxation was to smoke a pipe and listen to John Coltrane LPs.
