Lit Talk

John D Robinson

Not often do I read fiction;
my wife reads feverishly,
crime and thrillers, murder
mystery novels and
often
she will tell me of the
plots and of the
characters and I never
feel impressed and will
scratch behind my ears
or tune into the radio;
“Well, what are you reading?”
she asked me one time;
“Okay” I said “I’m
reading some fiction right
now. ‘Tropical Animal’ by
Pedro Juan Gutierrez”
“What’s it about?” she asks
I tell her
“It’s about fucking and
poverty and filth and
survival and censorship and
desperation and fucking
and rum and cigars and
broken men and women
and some more fucking
and painting and poetry
and the seedy sleazy world
of Havana and then there’s
even more fucking”
“Oh!” she says “It’s
starting to rain, I better go
and get the washing in”
