Vozač je rekao djedu koliko koštaju karte i dok je djed vrlo pažljivo prebrojavao novac - jer je svjetlo u autobusu bilo preslabo - vozač se okrenuo prema putnicima, digao desnu ruku i rekao: „How!“ i prasnuo u smijeh, i svi su prasnuli u smijeh. Tada sam se počeo bolje osjećati znajući da su prijateljski nastrojeni i ne zamjeraju nam što nismo imali vozne karte.
Onda smo pošli prema stražnjem dijelu autobusa i tamo sam vidio jednu bolesnu ženu. Oko očiju joj je bilo neprirodno crnilo, a usne su joj bile jarko crvene kao od krvi. Kad smo prošli pokraj nje, stavila je ruku iznad usta i zavrištala: „Wa...huuu!“ Ali sigurno ju je ubrzo prestalo boljeti jer se počela smijati i svi ostali su se smijali. Čovjek koji je sjedio pokraj nje se također smijao i pritom se lupao po nozi. Imao je veliku sjajnu kopču na kravati pa sam znao da su oni bogati i mogu platiti liječnika ako im je potreban.

Ne upravlja se životom kao brodom.

LJUBAV. To nikako ne mogu objasniti. Kako objasniti zašto volim prirodu u svim njenim oblicima? Ne samo sezonski, nego i ljeto i zimu i sunce i kišu i snijeg. Mogu li se dva partnera voljeti ako ne znaju svoje 'ružne strane'? Ako se neka osoba voli samo u njenom dobrom svjetlu, je li ljubav potpuna, je li prava? Je li to uopće ljubav? I tako svi ... Svi vole samo sunčano vrijeme, a kada je ružno zatvaraju se u svoja skloništa. Čovjekov iskustveni raspon temperature je 20°C. Od +10°C do +30°C. Sve više ili manje je neudobno. Pa, jesam li onda ja, koji hodam po kiši bos i uživam, lud? Jesam li lud kad vičem niz vjetar koji je toliko jak da se mogu nasloniti na njega? Kada silazim niz snježnu planinu, proklizavam i padam jer ne vidim prst pred sobom, a smijem se i istovremeno divim njenoj moći i svojoj neustrašivosti - jesam li lud? Vjerojatno jesam, ali ja samo igram iskreno, uživam u igri i takve karte dobivam.

Zahvalio sam publici na dolasku, izbacio par štosova, a onda rekao: - U slučaju da je netko od vas došao bez poznavanja cijele priče, spomenut ću vam savjet mog oca. On je uvijek govorio da valja predstaviti slona ukoliko se nalazi u sobi. Ako pogledate moje CT snimke, vidjet ćete da u jetri imam otprilike deset tumora. Liječnici kažu da mogu živjeti relativno zdravo još tri do šest mjeseci. To su rekli prije mjesec dana pa sad možete i sami izračunati.
Na ekranu sam pokazao veliku CT snimku moje jetre. Is-pod slajda je pisalo »Slon u sobi«, a ja sam još dodao crvene strelice koje su pokazivale svaki pojedinačni tumor.
Zadržao sam sliku neko vrijeme da publika može uočiti strelice i prebrojiti tumore. - U redu - rekao sam. -Tako je kako jest. Tu se ne da ništa promijeniti. Jedino što možemo je izabrati način reakcije. Ne možemo promijeniti karte koje smo dobili, već samo odlučiti kako ćemo igrati.

Man charakterisiert eine Geschichte am besten dadurch, dass man sie erzählt. Verstehen Sie? Eine Erzählung beschreiben, sich selbst oder der Welt, das macht man, indem man sie erzählt. Es ist ein Balanceakt, aber auch etwas Traumartiges. Die genaueste Karte, die sich denken lässt, wäre die Landschaft selbst, die jene verzeichnet; sie wäre daher vollkommen genau, aber auch vollkommen nutzlos. Die Erzählung ist die Karte, die die Landschaft ist. Das sollte man im Auge behalten.

Złóż głowę — śpiącą, kochaną,
Ludzką — na moim ramieniu
Niewiernym; w myślących dzieciach
Czas trawi śpiesznym płomieniem
Urodę, każdemu z nich daną
Inaczej, i zżera je lękiem;
Ale ja chcę do świtu w objęciach
Mieć to żywe stworzenie, pełne
Winy, niestałe, śmiertelne,
Lecz dla mnie skończenie piękne.
Bez granic jest dusza i ciało:
Kochankom, kiedy w omdleniu
Conocnym leża pod okiem
Łagodnej planety Wenus,
Jej blask śle wizje nietrwałe
Wszechwładnej miłości, obrazy
Nadziei wiecznie wysokiej;
Sny, w abstrakcyjnej wersji
Budzące i w chudej piersi
Pustelnika zmysłowe ekstazy.
Pewność, wierność nie trwa nawet
Doby — zgaśnie przed północą
Jak cichnący dzwonu głos,
Znów modni maniacy wzniosą
Swoją pedantyczną wrzawę
I wróżba z kart nas postraszy:
Trzeba spłacić każdy grosz
Kosztów, długów i rachunków;
Lecz skarb nocnych pocałunków
Wartości rankiem nie straci.
Piękność, północ, przywidzenia —
Wszystko niknie; niech wiatr brzasku
Nad twą głową, która śni,
Zbudzi dzień tak pełen blasku,
By wzrok i puls śpiewał pean
Światu, który pędzi w śmierć;
Znajdziesz i w pustyni dni
Mannę mimowolnych mocy,
Znajdziesz i w zniewadze nocy
Miłość wszystkich ludzkich serc.

A moth is such a simple machine in the animal world - the go-kart to the modern car - and it takes a lot of glitches to prevent it going. It's this intriguing simplicity, the idea that you could pull it into its constituent parts and put it back together in the same rainy day, that if you pulled back the skin, you could watch the inner workings, that makes a moth such an absorbing creature to study. Moths have a universal character: there are no individuals. Each reacts to a precise condition or stimulus in a predictable and replicable way. They are pre-programmed robots, unable to learn from experience. For instance, we know they will allways react to a smell, a pheromone or a particular spectrum of light in the same way. I can mimic the scent of a flower so that a moth will direct itself towards that scent ...

néha tényleg égkék, a gyerek reménye,
jövője meg végképp mindenekfelett.
Hisz valóban mennyivel jobb a jót,
a szépet látni, jaj, mennyire sokkal
jobb, mint nézni, ami van, a romot,
a vállból kiszakadt kart, medencéből
lábat, ahogy elgurul. Hisz a béke is
mindig túlél kicsit, mikor már háború
van – hát örültünk, éltünk, fölénézve,
nem akartuk egybetenni, amit – ki
vádolhat minket emiatt?
De aztán elakad a víz a csapban,
az utca sincs többé, csak kőporfüst,
ahol addig az orvosi rendelő, és nem
kenyér vagy tej, de vér se már, ami
a gyerek ereiből elfolytat pótolná,
és egy nap több összetákolt bárka
se indul a másik part felé, ahol még
addig bizton sejthettünk élhető létet,
és igen, akkor készült össze mindez,

“Bryan,” I said on a gasp, drawing three sets of eyes to me. “What are you doing here?”
He didn’t answer right away. His eyes were wide and surprised as he took in my appearance, trailing over my high heels, bare legs, and form-fitting silk dress. Self-consciously, I glanced at myself again, tugging on the hem.
Bryan’s voice was distracted; as though he were talking to himself, he began, “Holy sh—”
“You look great.” William stepped in front of his teammate and gave me a warm, if sedate, smile.
I frowned at William, then at Bryan—or what I could see of him behind William—then at Sean, who was inspecting my ceiling.
My frown deepened. “What’s going on?”
“Oh,” Sean chirped, imbuing his tone with forced lightness, “I just thought since you were going out, Patrick, Bryan, and I could have a men’s night in. You know, go through the latest Dolce & Gabbana catalogue, play a friendly game of Mario Kart, teach Patrick how to hook in a scrum. The usual.

Do you have any ritual things you do before a race?”
My dad did. He always had to wear black boxer shorts and socks. Before every race, he would also have a plain egg omelet for breakfast. I never did learn why.
“Yep.”
I wait, but he doesn’t expand.
“Well…are you gonna tell me what it is?”
Arms on the table, he leans forward. “Okay.” He lets out a breath. “I have to eat a bar of Galaxy chocolate before each race.”
“Really?” I smile. “Why?”
Eyes on me, he rests back in his seat, keeping his hands on the table. “After we first moved to England, I don’t know if it was the pressure or being in a different country or what, but I wasn’t winning races. I was coming in fourth at best. I was panicking because Dad had given up so much by moving us to England, and I was getting frustrated because I knew I was capable of more.
“Anyway, on this particular day, I was hungry because I’d forgotten to eat, and my dad was all, ‘You will lose this race on an empty stomach.’ So, he went off to get me something to eat. Anyway, he came back, telling me there was only this shitty vending machine. Then, he held out a bar of Galaxy chocolate, and I was like, ‘What the hell is that? I’m not eating that. It’s women’s chocolate. Men don’t eat Galaxy. They eat Yorkie.’ You remember the adverts?”
“I do.” I laugh, loving the way he’s telling the story.
He’s so animated with his eyes all lit up.
“So, my dad got pissed off and said, ‘Well, they haven’t got any men’s chocolate, so eat the bloody women’s chocolate, and shut the hell up!’”
I snort out a laugh. “So, what did you do?”
“Sulked for about a minute, and then I ate the fucking bar of Galaxy, and it was the best chocolate I’d ever tasted—not that I admitted that to my dad at the time. Then, I got in my kart and won my first ever race in England.”
He smiles fondly, and I can see the memory in his eyes.
“And since then, before every race, my dad buys me a bar of Galaxy from a vending machine, and I eat it. It’s my one weird thing.”
“But what if there isn’t any Galaxy chocolate in a vending machine? Or worse, there isn’t a vending machine?”
He leans forward, a sexy-arse smile on his face. “There’s always a vending machine, Andressa, and there’s always a bar of Galaxy in it.”

Täglich wartete ich auf ein Zeichen von Liz, auf einen erklärenden Brief, eine Karte oder einen Anruf. Wie ein Schiffbrüchiger, der unermüdlich an den Knöpfen eines Funkgeräts dreht, in der Hoffnung, endlich auf eine Stimme zu stoßen. Doch alles, was von meiner Schwester kam, war jahreslanges Rauschen.

—Abuela, ¿cómo puede haber gente tan mala? Ese Kart está loco. —Lo peor es que seguramente no esté loco. Mira, el mal es algo que está dentro del corazón del ser humano. —Sí, pero no todos vamos matando gente por ahí. —Eso es cierto, pero lo que es seguro es que todos necesitamos que Dios cambie nuestro corazón; sin su ayuda no podemos hacer nada.

My fantasy’s interrupted by some uppity-ass eight-year-old who thinks it would be funny to try to run me off the track by driving right into my kart from behind. I regain control of my vehicle, slow down and let him pass me. I then suddenly speed up after a few feet of meandering and ram straight into him from the right-hand side, making him drive into the tires. Whiplash, bitch! He screams at me all red-faced as I pass him. Not saying anything, just screaming. Prick.

Farfar had the Wii already fired up when I stepped out of the bathroom from my shower, the menu music from Mario Kart blaring from the living room TV. Koopa---the cat, not the character---was curled up on Farfar's lap in his spot at the end of the couch. One hand held his beer on top of his stomach, the other ran through Koopa's gray fur, both of their eyes closed in bliss.
I sank into the other end of the couch and grabbed my controller.
"All cleaned up and ready for your whooping?" he asked, pronouncing it, like always, with long OOs, like the crane. He raised his beer to his lips with his eyes still closed. This was probably number two already.
"Not tonight, old man. I'm in the zone, and you're looking tired."
His eyes were open then, a smirk on his face, and he produced his special blue remote---the best Lillajul gifts I'd ever gotten him---from the cushion beside him.
"Do you need to ease in with Mushroom Gorge, or are you ready to play for real?"
"I'm ready for any course you want," I said, smirking back.
He just chuckled---without the jollity he gave the guys outside C of C, I noticed---went straight to Rainbow Road, and promptly destroyed me.
Afterward, sinking back into the couch with a third beer and a number of victories under his belt, he let out a long sigh.
"You did good today, Gubben."
I smiled.
"I'm picking a new character.

“
Have we discussed the birds and the bees, Gubben?" Farfar said, just as we started our third lap on Wario's Gold Mine, the one track I hated almost as much as Rainbow Road.
"Uh... I'm pretty sure that was covered in online health."
I launched my red shell, which he deftly blocked with the banana peel he'd been holding on to.
I finished fourth after getting hit by a stupid ricocheting green shell, Farfar's Yoshi already halfway through its victory lap.

“
I wonder if maybe Farfar's heaven would be steering his own kart, inside the game, his gray ponytail slowly flapping in the lessened gravity of Rainbow Road, cackling as a smiling puff-cloud fishes him out of the abyss after he goes sailing over the guardrails. I'd wave as I pass, careful as always, decelerating my standard kart around the sharp turns, just waiting for him to come barreling past me yet again.

What is the Wii U, Gubben?" Farfar said, unable to keep the grin off his face as he balled the wrapping paper in his hands and stared at the box in his lap. "Don't we already have a Wii?" Then, more concerned, "How much did you spend on this?"
"Not too much," I said, grinning back. "It's refurbished."
"And old," Jorge added helpfully.
"And old. Nintendo's already moved on to newer systems. Plus," I said, tossing a second present onto Farfar's lap and picking up his blue Wii remote from the coffee table, strumming the rubber bands holding the battery cover in place with my thumb. "This system's backward compatible."
I watched Farfar peel back the paper one his unauthorized second present and nod to himself. He let out a sound like a deeply satisfied bear.
"Oh, god," Maggie said, laughing.
"Let's hook it up, Gubben."
"They released a deluxe edition for the newer system," I explained, leading to our lengthy, highly technical discussion of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U vs. 8 Deluxe for the Switch, while I hooked up the new system to the TV

Okay, Gubben, this time you have to pick your least-favorite character with your least-favorite vehicle."
I picked Peach, to which he raised his eyebrows.
"You hate Peach, Gubben? Seems a little...misogynistic."
"What are you talking about? Princess Peach is a horrible representation of women---how many times does she wait for Mario to save her?" I realized I sounded a little like Lou. You know, if Lou's rants ever extended into classic Nintendo characters.
Farfar picked Toad.
"Seems a little... mycogynistic, doesn't it?"
He just chuckled. "Stupid mushrooms."
I picked the Super Blooper for Peach, Farfar picked the Booster Seat for Toad, and we spent the next hour laughing and yelling disparaging things at the screen.

BELA NOĆ!
Ako nedeljom uveče umesto reprize Srećnih ljudi
stružem po plafonu opljačkane ludnice
ako za večeru progutam senku sijalice
ili namažem na hleb ono što je ostalo
između nožnih prstiju
čekajući gromove na Sinđelićevom trgu
da skinu me do pojasa
da promaše i udare u petočlanu porodicu bez plafona

tako je uvek i bilo
na omiljenoj slomljenoj klupi
probudim se u ponoć
dvoumim se sat vremena
pokupim te u pola dva ujutru
usput nekoliko praznih ambalaža
i betonskih jastuka sa Filmskih susreta
ruku pod ruku stisnem te
istresem te kao poslednji gutljaj
ispred zatvorene trafike
i 7 dana u sobi bez vazduha, jeftina isparenja
bez komšiluka, bez drugog dnevnika, kurve iz hodnika
bez dinara, praznika, kontrole, konduktera
7 dana bez signala i propuštenih poziva
samo fijuk ventilatora
morska so u bojleru

okolo vetar gura kamion za pranje ulice

i samo se grafiti guraju u liftu
dok poplava diže katance iz podruma
na osmi sprat, slušajući
kako udaraju nezatvoreni prozori
kako padaju mesečne kartice
cegeri, štipaljke i kineske lutke

Irshad Malik, the Kashmiri militant now in London (who Firdous had wanted me to bring back to India when I was at R&AW), once said to me about PoK: ‘Uss taraf kya hai? Pakistan mein kya hai? Aap kyon fiqar karte hain? Inko jaane dijiye, paar dekhne dijiye, udhar kuchh bhi nahin hain.’ He said that Srinagar airport—and he obviously hadn’t been to Srinagar airport in at least twenty-four years—was better than any Pakistani airport. Hotels in Kashmir are as good as any in the world. ‘They have nothing there,’ he said. You should publicise these facts, he said to me: ‘Aapko toh film banani chahiye.

We stalked carefully through the park in best paramilitary fashion, the lost patrol on its mission into the land of the B movie. To Deborah’s credit, she was very careful. She moved stealthily from one piece of cover to the next, frequently looking right to Chutsky and then left at me. It was getting harder to see her, since the sun had now definitely set, but at least that meant it was harder for them to see us, too—whoever them might turn out to be. We leapfrogged through the first part of the park like this, past the ancient souvenir stand, and then I came up to the first of the rides, an old merry-go-round. It had fallen off its spindle and lay there leaning to one side. It was battered and faded and somebody had chopped the heads off the horses and spray-painted the whole thing in Day-Glo green and orange, and it was one of the saddest things I had ever seen. I circled around it carefully, holding my gun ready, and peering behind everything large enough to hide a cannibal. At the far side of the merry-go-round I looked to my right. In the growing darkness I could barely make out Debs. She had moved up into the shadow of one of the large posts that held up the cable car line that ran from one side of the park to the other. I couldn’t see Chutsky at all; where he should have been there was a row of crumbling playhouses that fringed a go-kart track. I hoped he was there, being watchful and dangerous. If anything did jump out and yell boo at us, I wanted him ready with his assault rifle. But there was no sign of him, and even as I watched, Deborah began to move forward again, deeper into the dark park. A warm, light wind blew over me and I smelled the Miami night: a distant tang of salt on the edge of rotting vegetation and automobile exhaust. But even as I inhaled the familiar smell, I felt the hairs go up on the back of my neck and a soft whisper came up at me from the lowest dungeon of Castle Dexter, and a rustle of leather wings rattled softly on the ramparts. It was a very clear notice that something was not right here and this would be a great time to be somewhere else; I froze there by the headless horses, looking for whatever had set off the Passenger’s alarm. I saw and heard nothing. Deborah had vanished into the darkness and nothing moved anywhere, except a plastic shopping bag blowing by in the gentle wind. My stomach turned over, and for once it was not from hunger. My

Den historia jag nu ska försöka berätta utspelar sig i Stockholmsförorten Tyresö sommaren 2011. Det var en sällsamt varm och solig sommar, blåbären hade redan mognat i skogen när det varslades död. Först om det fruktansvärda i Norge, alla unga liv som släcktes, vettlöst. Sedan från huset i Camden Town, en kropp så liten och späd att den knappt gick att urskilja under det vita lakanet på båren. Mina tårar torkade inte av sig själva.
Och så ... det andra. Medan blåbären fortfarande var sura kart i skogarna som omgav våra hem, med bläcket i studentmössorna färskt – alla dem vi ägnat tre, sex, nio, tolv år åt att gömma oss för som nu skrev BFF och Vi ses snart igen i våra mössor, var det champagnen som talade? – inträffade ett par försvinnanden.
Det började med chihuahuan Honey som försvann från Farmarstigen under våren och resulterade i en outsinlig ström av lappar och, så småningom, en artikel i lokaltidningen. För varje vecka som gick skruvades tonläget i lapparna upp. Man hade en uppdatering, Honey hade tidigare samma vecka setts i närområdet. Honey levde! Till sist var Zeb och jag övertygade om att alltsammans var en konstinstallation av något slag, för lapparna bara fortsatte och fortsatte, ett alldeles eget narrativ växte fram i de kopierade lapparna med pixliga foton på en liten förskrämd hund. Fanns hon ens? Jag började skriva på en novell som aldrig blev klar om en ensam kvinna och hennes försvunna hund, som eventuellt aldrig funnits utanför kvinnans fantasi. Sedan hittade jag Elsie Johanssons roman Kvinnan som mötte en hund i mammas bokhylla och lät alltsammans bero. Alla berättelser jag försökt skriva, som fallit i glömska när jag hittat existerande verk som lyckats förmedla det jag ville skriva om med en lyskraft som jag saknat. Saknar. Skuggbiblioteken, var det trots allt där jag hörde hemma?
Vem är jag att göra anspråk på den här historien? Ett par veckor efter sista Honeylappen hände något som fick alla att sluta tänka på den försvunna hunden. Lina försvann, och med henne något som aldrig skulle komma tillbaka."

The next day we sat in Geir’s bedroom and wrote a love letter to Anne Lisbet. His parents’ house was identical to ours, it had exactly the same rooms, facing in exactly the same directions, but it was still unendingly different, because for them functionality reigned supreme, chairs were above all else comfortable to sit in, not attractive to look at, and the vacuumed, almost mathematically scrupulous, cleanliness that characterized our rooms was utterly absent in their house, with tables and the floor strewn with whatever they happened to be using at that moment. In a way, their lifestyle was integrated into the house. I suppose ours was, too, it was just that ours was different. For Geir’s father, sole control of his tools was unthinkable, quite the contrary, part of the point of how he brought up Geir and Gro was to involve them as much as possible in whatever he was doing. They had a workbench downstairs, where they hammered and planed, glued and sanded, and if we felt like making a soap-box cart, for example, or a go-kart, as we called it, he was our first port of call. Their garden wasn’t beautiful or symmetrical as ours had become after all the hours Dad had spent in it, but more haphazard, created on the functionality principle whereby the compost heap occupied a large space, despite its unappealing exterior, and likewise the stark, rather weed-like potato plants growing in a big patch behind the house where we had a ruler-straight lawn and curved beds of rhododendrons.

Gene bir sis kaplamış ufuklarını, inatçı bir sis,

Agar ap ne aur ap ki mehbooba ne sabar se kaam liya aur sirf sabar se hi kaam liya. To ap apni mohobat ko paa lenge. Aur jo log apke khilaf honge wo apke samne haar jayenge aur majbor ho jayenge

“
Agar ap apni mehbooba se mohobat karte hain
Aur apki mehbooba ap se mohobat karti hai. To kuch log apke saath khare honge aur kuch log apke khilaf.
Agar ap ne aur apki mehbooba ne sabar se kaam liya aur sirf sabar lete rahe to ap apni mohobat ko paa lenge aur jo kuch apke khilaf honge wo apke samne haar jayenge aur wo majbor ho jayenge k ab ye log humare saath kya karege. Lehaza uske baad bhi apne kuch nahi karna bas ek dusre ko khush rakhna hai aur yahi ek sabar ja fun seekhna hai.k kon apka apna hai aur kon nahi.
