Willie Grady reclining in a striped multicoloured hammock on a screened balcony, wearing a dark T-shirt and jeans with one arm behind his head. A hardcover book, sunglasses and a glass of coffee sit on a round wooden table beside him, with a railing, water and tall buildings beyond. — Willie A. A. Grady
