lettersandlight:

A few years ago, while plodding through a revision of my novel (revisions require the writer’s equivalent of heavy-duty hiking boots), I got bored by my writing. It was too literal, too realistic, too earnest, and too flat.

A bejárat előtt rendőrök állnak széles karimájú tányérsapkában, mint a szovjetek idején. Az épület előtti három zászló félárbocon. Az egyik járókelőt megkérdezem, hogy melyik fontos ember hunyt el.

- Nem, uram, a remény halt meg – legyint és továbbmegy.
