the tourist who forgets to finish his drink — "He’s one of these people who…"
He’s one of these people who don’t need much, much less much more.
Context
The book's control-case for the whole theme, drawn in one man: Schacht uses "to make a tense but fundamentally OK interior life interestingly different" — no relief sought because none is needed, "a kind of tourism" that can forget to finish itself. Set beside Pemulis's precautions and Hal's Pump Room, the tourist who doesn't need much is exactly the negative space that defines the cage the others are in.
