Iris Blasi

Mostly books. And some other stuff.

5 notes

Old men cross the road in front of you on foot, behind flocks of newly shorn sheep, taking their time, stopping to wave the fat lambs over, or to take off their shoes and look for bits of gravel that have been bothering them for hours. The fact that you are in a hurry is of no particular interest to them; in their opinion, if you are making your journey in a hurry, you are making it poorly.
from Chapter 4 of Tea Obreht’s The Tiger’s Wife
