Look what I had found in the hypnotic book "Family Secrets" – just close your eyes immediately after reading these lines and imagine the place. Yes, there are a plot and dialogues and all the materials a good book is made of but the descriptions are magical:Palm trees burst from blue Jerry cans that once held kerosene for stoves. In the distance you can see a table top propped up against the wall, pails and a coiled hose hanging on the table legs facing us. The gray, empty box of a TV set, the black tail ends of a dried-up hose and black plastic boxes that had held young cuttings brought from a hothouse strewn around like shells. Here and there, you can see a spot of sky, and only from those spots can you hear the chirping of birds. The whole place was packed with air-roots, all looking for air, sending out lungs in every direction. Every once in a while, there’s a faint drumming. An abandoned bird’s nest lands on the ground. An old hunting rifle.
