When Ige Ramos was designing one of my Twisted books, he said I needed to have a proper photograph taken. He suggested Patrick de Koenigswarter, whom I knew only as a society photographer. That's how I met Patrick, an erudite man who got pricklier and pricklier with time. We had long conversations about his mother, the subject of this piece. After I showed him he draft he refused to speak to me. This piece was published in The National (Abu Dhabi) in 2008.
Great read Jessica. Thank you
