grāmata
Lasu te vienu japāņu grāmatu (Haruki Murakami "After the quake"). Viņam ir tāds īpatnējs rakstīšanas stils.Dīvains.Bet pie vienas lapas es sasmējos :
"I'm ok if you are OK."
"I'm Ok" he said.
"Three years ago - back around the time I entered junior college - I was dating this guy.He was a year older than me, a college student.He was the first guy i had sex with.One day the two of us were out hiking - in the mountains way up north."
She took a sip of beer.
"It was fall,and hills were full of bears.That's the time of year when the bears are getting ready to hibernate,so they're out looking for food and they're really dangerous.Sometimes they attack people.They did an awful job on one hiker just three days before we went out.So somebody gave us a bell to carry - about the same size as a wind-bell.You're supposed to shake it when you walk so the bears know there are people around and won't come out.Bears don't attack people on purpose. I mean , they're pretty much vegeterians.They don't have to attack people. What happens is they suddenly bump into people in their territory and they get surprised or angry and they attack out of reflex. So if you walk along ringing your bell,they'll avoid you.Get it?"
"I get it."
"So thats what we were doing, walking along and ringing the bell.We got to this place where there was nobody else around,and all of a sudden he wanted to ... do it. I kind of liked the idea,too,so I said Ok and we went into this bushy place off the trail where nobody could see us, and we spread out a piece of plastic.But i was afraid of the bears.I mean,think how awful it would be to have some bear attack you from behind and kill you when you're having sex! I would never want to die that way.Would you?"
He agreed that he wound not want to die that way.
"So there we were, shaking the bell with one hand and having sex.Kept it up from start to finish.Din-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!"
"Which one of you shook the bell?"
"We took turns.We'd swap when our hands got tired.It was so weird,shaking this bell the whole time we were doing it!I think about it sometimes even now, when I'm having sex, and I start laughing."
He gave a little laugh,too.
She clapped her hands."Oh,that's wonderful," she said.
"You can laugh after all!"
