![]() ![]() ![]() Whenever I watch the likable gangsters on The Sopranos, I think of Johan.Īs Johan explained it, Lance, Kevin, and I would fly to Valencia. It’s something in his expression, in the certainty of his big Belgian voice, in the supremely casual way he shrugs while laying out the details of the plan. He’s good at making the outrageous sound normal-it might be his greatest skill. But Johan, when he explained the plan during the Dauphiné, made it sound normal, even boring. I’d heard about transfusions before, but it was always theoretical and distant-as in, can you believe that some guys actually bank their blood, then put it back in before a race? It seemed weird, Frankenstein- ish, something for Iron Curtain Olympic androids in the eighties. And it was never so well used as that night at the end of the 2000 Dauphiné, when he told me about the plans for the blood transfusion.

I was already writing a novel about a family set in modern day, but I couldn’t resist using this gold mine of cool stuff… so I set the novel near the hunting park, and made the naturalist character a ghost. Doolittle who lived with animals in his house. I became obsessed with the place, especially after I learned that the park’s naturalist was a real-life Dr. I googled it, and found out that it was built by a 19th century robber baron and that he’d also built a 26,000-acre exotic animal park… and that the park is still there today.
