Inspector Montalbano (6/02/2004) I'm only a third of the way into an English translation of The Snack Thief, a murder mystery by Andrea Camilleri, and I'm already looking forward to reading The Terra Cotta Dog and The Voice of the Violin. Here's an excerpt: "...try to use your brains a little. If we were in the Sahara desert and you came to me and said you'd found a fish scale on a knife that had been used to kill a tourist, then the thing might, I say might, mean something. But what the f*ck could it possibly mean in a town like Vigàta, where out of twenty thousand inhabitants, nineteenthousandninehundredandseventy eat fish all the time?" "And why don't the other thirty?" "Because they're newborn babies." |
