”And what about you?” I asked Judith. “What do you like?” “I prefer simple and elegant.” “I like small and cheap,” I said. “That’s too bad,” Judith said. “It looks like you’ve gone and picked the wrong family.”

They looked nothing like the presents under Judith’s tree. They looked as if they had been wrapped by a blind, one-armed man who had torn away at the wrapping paper and tape with his teeth.
That’s why I’m here in this country. No revolution. No coup.
