Horst is a mysterious Swedish gynecologist who competed with Archie in track cycling at the 1948 Olympics in London (they tied for 13th place, a fact omitted from the Olympic record by accident). Though Horst and Archie never reunite, Horst sends Archie multiple letters throughout the novel, all of which seem to resonate with Archie’s life.

Quotes
Strangely, Daria was the final pulse of thought that passed through Archie just before he blacked out. It was the thought of a whore he met once twenty years ago, it was Daria and her smile that made him cover Mo’s apron with tears of joy as the butcher saved his life. He had seen her in his mind: a beautiful woman in a doorway with a come-hither look; and realized he regretted not coming hither. If there was any chance of ever seeing a look like that again, then he wanted the second chance, he wanted the extra time. Not just this second, but the next and the next—all the time in the world.
