but Ove and Rune managed to get along so well that they even had a little whiskey together at the end of the evening.
Unfortunately, at their last dinner that summer Ove and Rune had the idea of having a barbecue.
And obviously they started feuding at once about the most effective way of lighting Ove’s globe grill.
Within fifteen minutes the argument had escalated so much in volume
that Sonja and Anita agreed it might be best to eat their dinner separately after all.
The two men had time to buy and sell a Volvo 760 (Turbo) and a Saab 9000i before they spoke to one another again.
Meanwhile, the neighbors came and went in the row of houses.
In the end there had been so many new faces in the doorways of the other row houses that they all merged in a sea of gray.
Where before there had been forest, there were only construction cranes.
Ove and Rune stood outside their houses, hands obstinately shoved into their trouser pockets, like ancient relics in a new age,
while a parade of uppity real estate agents barely able to see over their grapefruit-size tie knots patrolled the little road between the houses
and kept their eyes on them—like vultures watching aging water buffaloes.
