Izaicinājums pieņemts - izlasīju Daniel Wallace romānu "Big fish". Un, protams, silti iesaku to izdarīt arī citiem. Romāns nav garš, tikai 180 lpp, lasās ļoti viegli, jo autors ir labs stāstnieks, un ieved pilnīgi sirreālā pasaulē. Tur pilnīgi noteikti katrs var atrast kaut ko priekš sevis, kaut ko, kas rezonē tieši šajā dzīves brīdī.

Lūk, dažas rindas, kas uzrunāja mani:

"Before that could happen, though, before he disappeared, he was a father, and he did the things a father was supposed to do. He played some catch, he bought a bike. He packed lunch for the picnics to the mountain overlooking the town, the great city of endless promise, from which he could see the spot where he first did this, and then that, and over there where he made his first deal, and there where he kissed that pretty woman, and all the triumph and glory of his short life. This is what he saw when he went there, not the buildings or the skyline, not the tree groves or the hospital where they were building the new wing. No: it was his story, the story of his adult life spread out before him like a landscape, and he would take me there and hold me up so I could see and he would say, "Someday son, this will all be yours.""
