I watched the man open a pack of cigarettes with trembling hands and offer one to her, and that is the image of the night of the earthquake in my mind today -- a conservative grocer and a crying transvestite smoking together on the sidewalk.
Gledala sam čovjeka kako drhtavim rukama otvara kutiju cigareta i jednu nudi njoj. To je slika noći potresa koju i danas imam u glavi -- konzervativni prodavač i uplakani transvestit kako zajedno puše na pločniku.
