Smakebit på søndag, 24/01-2016 – Just Kids av Patti Smith

 

Veckans Smakebit kommer ur Just Kids av Patti Smith. Jag har inte lyssnat jättemycket på henne, men hon är en fascinerande kvinna och båda hennes böcker har fått fin kritik. Ser därför mycket fram emot att läsa denna! 

 
 

 
 

”I was asleep hen he died. I had called the hospital to say one more good night, but he had gone under, beneath layers of morphine. I held the receiver and listened to his labored breathing through the phone, knowing I would never hear him again. 

 
Later I quietly straightened my things, my notebook and fountain pen. The cobalt inkwell that had been his. My Persian cup, my purple heart, a tray of baby teeth. I slowly ascended the stairs, counting them, fourteen of them, one after another. I drew the blanket over the baby in her crib, kissed my son as he slept, then lay down beside my husband and said my prayers. He is still alive, I remember whispering. Then I slept.” 
 
Ur Just Kids av Patti Smith, Ecco: 2010.
