But where do movies get it from, do you know?
They get it from real life. The problem is that those sons of bitches who write the stories, they don't tell you where it leads in the end. ... Because if they tell you what comes next, you won't go see their shitty movie.
So we brought him back to the house, where he spent the day sitting in the corner of the two mattresses in the living room awaiting his death in front of the TV. I don't think he could see the screen anymore. It's possible he couldn't tell the difference between the images and the zellige Mouy used to cover the walls. A beautiful zellige, blue with orange, green, and white.

Well, nothing exciting here from the books I've started this past week (4). Oh well.
"When I'm finished working, I don't waste any time. [I put my djellaba back on, smooth out its creases, and I wait. For the guy to zip up his fly, smoke a cigarette, and leave, so I can go back to my spot and harpoon another guy.]"
pickNarrator‘s sharp, insistent, often hilarious voice carries it: Moroccan sex worker Jmiaa draws a vivid portrait of her Casablanca neighborhood & the women with whom she drinks, gossips, & waits for clients. Life changes when she meets a young filmmaker (the titular “horse‘s mouth”) & is signed for a film role. Resourceful & clever narrator. “Depuis le début je leur dis que j‘ai l‘esprit vif.” A sharp mind and a quick tongue! 2018
