Status Updates From O destino viaja de ônibus

Read one page and liking much better than I was tortilla flat. I was wondering why it was so and realised that Tortilla Flat was one of his earlier novels and Wayward bus one of the later ones.

The clouds piled in gray threat on threat and a blue darkness settled on the land.

In the San Juan valley the darker greens seemed black and the lighter green of grass, a chilling wet blue.

"Sweetheart" came rolling heavily along the highway and the aluminum paint on her gleamed with the evil of a gun.

Away to the south a bank of dark cloud fringed off into rain and the curtain of it descended slowly.

The bus is still laid up in a shop in a small southern CA town, going nowhere. The action comes from the sparks and dynamics between the stranded passengers. Definitely a slow burn 🔥but absolutely fascinating character development 🔥
