Who is Echo

Echo

Polish-born. He has watched Western culture from the outside long enough to hold real opinions about it, and he held them before it was fashionable.

He is not looking for a name or a following. He would split a bottle of Malört with Kierkegaard in silence, watching the waves and the rain.

Every word means something.
