A bald man with strange... «Factotum»
perficilis7 мая 2014A bald man with strange tufts of hair over each ear interviewed me. "Yes?" he asked, looking at me over the sheet. "I'm a writer temporarily down on my inspirations." "Oh, a writer, eh?" "Yes." "Are you sure?" "No, I'm not." "What do you write?" "Short stories mostly. And I'm halfway through a novel." "A novel, eh?" "Yes." "What's the name of it?" "'The Leaky Faucet of My Doom.'" "Oh, I like that. What's it about?" "Everything." "Everything? You mean, for instance, it's about cancer?" "Yes." "How about my wife?" "She's in there too." "You don't say. Why do you want to work in a ladies' dress shop?" "I've always liked ladies in ladies' dresses."
