En smakebit på søndag

En smakbit från pågående läsning, som del av den norska bokbloggen Flukten fra virkelighetens utmaning. Ur Nadine Gordimers The Pickup (2001):

"Clustered predators round a kill. It's a small car with a young woman inside it. The battery has failed and taxis, cars, minibuses, vans, motorcycles butt and challenge one another, reproach and curse her, a traffic mob mounting its own confusion. Get going. Stupid bloody woman. Idikazana lomlungu, le! She throws up hands, palms open, in surrender. They continue to jostle and blare their impatience. She gets out of her car and faces them." (s. 3)
