“В одном из поздних чеховских рассказов под названием «Три года» ярко описаны переживания молодого вдумчивого человека, выходца из купеческой среды. Мы видим, насколько узнаваемы подробности - ими наполнены письма Антона, запечатлевшие муки и унижения детства: «Я помню, отец начал учить меня, или попросту говоря, бить, когда мне не было ещё пяти лет. Он сек меня розгами, драл за уши, бил по голове, и я, просыпаясь, каждое утро думал прежде всего: будут ли сегодня драть меня?»”

“Llegan los españoles y te proponen adores a un Dios, muerto hecho un coágulo, con el costado herido, clavado en una cruz. Sacrificado. Ofrendado.

“This one girl here, Devon, she’s from Detroit. She’s brand-new too. One day I was about to leave to the grocery store, which is like a ten-minute walk away. She asked me to pick up a sandwich for her (which was kind of annoying), so I was like, “Why don’t you come with me?”
She was like, “I can’t, ’cause I can’t walk very far.”
I was like, “It’s not even ten minutes. Come on, don’t be lazy—if anything it’ll be a mini workout.”
She was like, “Ever since I got shot, it hurts when I walk uphill.”
(The walk on the way back is pretty much all on an incline.)
I asked her why she got shot. I thought . . . Detroit? Ghetto, right? Probably domestic abuse, or a drug-related thing.
She goes, “I got in a fight over a parking space, and the guy shot me in both of my knees.”
