Clever 🦊

It's incredible how much depth a short poem like A Patch of Old Snow has. The subject of snow in a corner, forgotten and dirty by time. Would you have noticed it while traipsing? Or does the poem inquire as to whether anyone notices you, alive, young, old, or dead and buried in a cemetery with a dirty tombstone? Scary shit. My deep thoughts on the loo.

A friend with good humour gifted me this book because "I am fond of detective stories." Much later, he said that the blurb was funny and wanted to see my look when I read it. This was in July. My friend didn't know this book was part of a series, but I did not want to disappoint him. I was sorting my books, and I decided to read it. Tell you the truth: He should pick up more books for me. Montalbano is so good!
