the last book I ever read (Virginie Despentes's Vernon Subutex 1: A Novel, excerpt twelve)

from Vernon Subutex 1: A Novel by Virginie Despentes (translated by Frank Wynne):

“What kind of music do you like?”

“I love Adele. I could listen to her James Bond song all the time.”

“I used to be a record dealer. A long time ago.”

“Yeah? Vinyl and old-school photography—so you and me are both castaways from jobs that were shipwrecked.”
