“I did know was that I lived in a world that at any moment could erupt into fire. It was the sort of knowledge that kept you on your toes. â€� â€� â€�”
Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle

Barry Kirwan, The Eden Paradox

Ralph Ellison
“I recalled a report of a shoe-shine boy who had encountered the best treatment in the South simply by wearing a white turban instead of his usual Dobbs or Stetson, and I fell into a fit of laughing.”
Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man

John Grogan
“Quando svoltai l'angolo, mi fermai di colpo. Ci avrei scommesso una settimana di stipendio che quel che stavo vedendo non poteva essere vero. Il nostro turbolento, esasperato cane stava adagiato tra le ginocchia di Jenny, il grosso testone posato placidamente sul suo grembo. La coda gli penzolava piatta tra le zampe, la prima volta che non lo vedevo agitarla quando stava toccando uno di noi. Gli occhi erano alzati verso di lei, e guaiva sommessamente. Jenny gli accarezzò la testa diverse volte e poi, senza preavviso, affondò la faccia nel folto del suo collo e cominciò a singhiozzare. Forte, in modo incontrollato.
Restarono così a lungo, con Marley immobile come una statua, Jenny che lo stringeva a sè come un enorme bambolotto. Io mi tenevo in disparte, sentendomi un po' come un intruso che interferiva in quel momento privato, non sapendo esattamente che cosa fare. E poi, senza alzare la faccia, Jenny mosse un braccio verso di me, e io li raggiunsi sul divano e me la strinsi contro. Restammo lì noi tre, nel nostro abbraccio di condiviso dolore.”
John Grogan, Io & Marley

Hank Quense
“The Troll Patrol was an institution unique to Dun Hythe. Long ago, the city leaders had recognized the need to control and direct the heavy wagon traffic that flowed to and from the port area. They organized a patrol of citizens for this purpose and all went well for a while. No one knows who allowed the first troll to join up, but word immediately spread throughout the troll community that one of their number had a paying job with unlimited donuts. Soon after that, every opening in the patrol attracted dozens of trolls who brazenly persuaded non-trolls to withdraw their applications. Within a few years, trolls had taken over the organization.
Trolls proved to be particularly inept at traffic control. A member of the Troll Patrol could station himself in the middle of a deserted intersection and, within minutes, he would create a traffic-snarling mess. To keep the enraged wagon drivers under control, the trolls relied upon truncheons. A whack or two in the head always knocked a driver groggy and made him a lot less noisy.”
Hank Quense, The King Who Disappeared
