Harold's end is a street hustler power ballad from San Francisco novelist JT Leroy. A young boy finds solace in a gift from an older, seemingly compassionate man.

è che anch’io, qualche anno fa, ho allevato una lumachina…
era arrivata dentro un broccolo e non le avevo dato un nome.

la tenevo dentro un vasetto dello yogurt, di quelli che avevano i cerealini da tuffarci dentro, e quindi erano forniti di un coperchietto a cupola trasparente, su cui avevo fatto i buchetti per l’aria.
yogoloso mi pare si chiamasse… se lo comprava mia nonna!
:D

e vabbe’… è stata il mio animaletto domestico per un po’ di mesi, l’unico della mia vita, in realtà… [a parte il moscone “giorgina”, intrappolato dentro un barattolo con dello zucchero, tenuto forse un giorno e poi liberato… che dico, sì che avevo circa dieci anni… e non ero tipo da prendermi certe responsabilità… però dài! …i mosconi sono noiosi!] …che tristezza, lo so.
e comunque, la lumaca, dicevo…
vabbe’, non chiedetemi che fine ha fatto… è una lunga storia.
:)

ah! …riguardo al libro:
è una mezza schifezzuola.
ché in pratica ‘sto j.t. leroy s’è inventato un personaggio… UNO! ..sempre quello… e ci ha ricamato attorno tre storie.
GENIO! ( )
