“We were always driven by a gray-haired man in the foster-care agency car. I remember leaving that abusive home, pulling out of the driveway, and seeing sumo Mr. Sanchez’s ice cream truck. He would take us with him when he worked but never gave us any ice cream. Oh, the cruelty! I would have taken real a beating for some ice cream.”
― Life of a Bastard
― Life of a Bastard
“Глядя своими глазами на этих борцов сумо с их безволосым телом, гладкой кожей, скользкой от масла, волосами, собранными в несуразную прическу, я видел лишь гигантских младенцев, отвратительных живых кукол в памперсах; глядя глазами зрителей, сидевших по соседству, я начинал подозревать, что на ринге мужчины, возможно привлекательные самцы, способные соблазнять, а для некоторых девушек, не скрывавших своих чувств, это истинный секс-символ. Это открытие, кажется, озадачило меня больше всего.
В то время как борцы пытались вытолкнуть соперника из круга, сам я боролся против собственных предрассудков, постепенно, один за другим выталкивая их из сознания. Нет, я больше не мог презирать тех, кто посвятил жизнь борьбе, формированию собственного тела, людей, проявлявших и силу, и находчивость, ведь масса тела не давала превосходства; порой техника, проворство, хитрость приносили победу тому, кто весил меньше. Эти поединки пробудили во мне страсть, я поймал себя на том, что мысленно ставлю на того или иного борца, выделяю фаворитов. Под конец я вместе с соседями по ряду вскочил и от всей души принялся с жаром аплодировать победителю, блистательному Асёрю, ставшему моим героем.”
