Status Updates From Howtown (Henry Rios Mystery...

“Was it hard to become a lawyer?” “You mean, because I’m Mexican? You can’t let what other people think about you stop you from doing what you want to do.”

“Is there no change in paradise?”

“What are you talking about?”
“My mother,” he whispered. “My mother.”
WTF? 😳🤢

“Josh. Yeah. He’s my partner.”
“Why did he say that thing about me joining you guys?”
I studied his expression. He seemed neither particularly upset nor even especially embarrassed.
“He was joking, Ben.”
He considered this for a moment and in a low voice asked, “What if I had said yes?”
“Are you trying to tell me something?”
👀 Oh, apparently my guess was right. 😊

Sempre più torbida questa faccenda.
PS Elena mi sta abbondantemente sui cabasisi.

Bello complicato anche questo volume.
Peccato che questa volta la traduzione sia alquanto approssimativa.

E questa volta si parla di pedofilia, giusto per continuare con argomenti difficili.
E mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso trovare un riferimento a Primo Levi e ai suoi romanzi sui sopravvissuti ai lager.
