Gilbert Adair • Love and Death on Long Island: A Novel

La nave colombiana è rossa di colore e se ne sta lì intatta, attraccata e cigolante, a sorvegliare sorniona l’affanno della vita. E l’affanno della vita non è una frase ad effetto, ma la realtà: poche sagome umane che parlottano, qualcuno che finge di scaricare merci, maneggi che pure in controluce lo capisci.
Paolo Sorrentino • Hanno tutti ragione (Universale economica Vol. 8041) (Italian Edition)
The sea was always heaving things up and hurling them back: fishing lines, floats, beer cans, plastic toys, tampons, Nike sneakers. A few years earlier it was severed feet. People were finding them up and down Vancouver Island, washed up on the sand. One had been found on this very beach.
