Van egy mára elcsépelt értékeléskezdés. Csakazértis. Szeret. Gyűlöl. Minden benne van, kimondva, leírva. Ezt most mégsem tudtam annyira szeretni, mint az eddigieket. Egyetlen dolog miatt, ami többször is visszatért, ez pedig az erőszak. Nem a hozzádb.szom a kuktát, hanem a tényleges, az aktusra kényszerítés, a bármilyen „kicsi”, de (a könyv valóságában) valóságos erőszak. Tudom, hogy ez nem önéletrajz. De a sok minden mellett, ami benne volt, ami meglepett a metrón, villamoson olvasva, mindenről, bármiről, bárhogy beszélés mellett, ezt az egyet nem vette be a gyomrom. Ez annyira zavart, hogy nem tudom azt írni, szeret. Persze ez is lehet egy elérni kívánt hatás. A hangját, azt szeretem. show more Keresek megint mást. show less
