In questo periodo sto leggendo molto Michael Connelly, recuperando libri che avevo in casa e colmando in qualche modo le lacune. Pensate quello che volete, che è il classico giallista commerciale e via dicendo, rimane il fatto che è un ottimo scrittore, scorrevole e mai banale.
L'altra sera stavo leggendo le prime pagine di The Closers (non conosco il titolo italiano), e verso la fine del capitolo 6 mi trovo davanti a un paragrafo, che cito in originale.
The Verlorens apparently chose not to hold their loss out for public consumption. Bosch liked that about them. It seemed to him that increasingly the media forced the victims of tragedy to grieve in public, in front of cameras and in newspaper stories. Parents of murdered children became talking heads who appeared on the tube as experts the next time there was another child murdered and another set of parents grieving. it all didn't sit well with Bosch. It seemed to him that best way to honor the dead was to keep them close to the heart, not to share them with the world across the electronic spectrum.
La penso esattamente come il buon Hieronymus Bosch. E non avrei saputo trovare parole migliori.
