from Cal: A Novel by Bernard MacLeverty:
‘Did you ever read any of the books I gave you?’
‘No, but I started one. I wasn’t enjoying it so I stopped.’ He felt he was hurting her by satying i.
‘That’s fair enough. Which one?’ Cal tried to recall. He felt a flutter of examination nerves and said,
‘It was something about a deaf-mute bloke in America.’
‘Carson McCullers?’
‘Aye, him, I think.’
‘Her. And you didn’t like it?’
‘It was odd. Maybe I’ll try again.’
