Lunch break, and Mr. McDonalds’s Physics lab is almost full, mostly girls, an’ definitely no teachers. I’m standing behind the front bench, a fish-tank on the right, my trusty assistant John on the left. Grabbing a large goldfish from the tank, I stuff it in my mouth, and swallow. It’s wiggly and a somewhat gritty, but down she goes. Just takes concentration, and a little practice. The girls start screaming. A few break for the door. When things settle down we all leave. Seems nobody’s too keen on lunch. The next day, McDonald puts a sign on the fish-tank. Please Do Not Eat The Fish Just a minute. What really happened here? Nope, there was no slight of hand. The fish truly did go down, albeit with difficulty. However, we’d prepared carefully. Several days before I had a test run, ate a few, and knew I could do it. John went ‘round the school taking bets. The money was more or less an admission fee. I wonder why so many girls, and did they get their 50 cents worth? Gotta smile just thinking about it. Bloody outrageous! By the way, why didn’t someone confront me? The story must have shot ‘round the school. Probably too bizarre. An...

J’ai longtemps hésité avant de me décider à écrire mon histoire. Je pensais qu’elle était banale et qu’elle n’intéresserait personne, puis je me suis dit que peut-être mon récit pourrait aider des jeune-filles, des femmes, des mères et des grands-mères à aborder les problèmes de la vie quotidienne avec plus de courage. Je suis née le 6 octobre 1954 à Alger, quelques jours avant le début des événements, prémices de la guerre d’Algérie. Je suis la dernière de trois enfants, autant vous dire que j’ai été outrageusement gâtée tout au long de mon enfance. J’ai deux frères plus âgés que moi, Lucien (Lulu) de 11 ans l’aîné et Paul-Alain (Titi) de six ans. Nous dûmes partir précipitamment d’Algérie, mon père ayant sa tête mise à prix par le FLN (Front de Libération Nationale), d’après les récits de ma mère et mes grands-parents. J’étais une petite princesse de neuf mois quand je traversais la méditerranée pour la première fois....

Hello! Let me start this book by introducing myself. My name is Alex Gilbert and I was born in a small town in Russia, called Arkhangelsk, on the 1st of April 1992.

After an elongated period of economic deprivation; and human rights expropriation; by the reds; I accumulated enough strength; and courage to turn over the sandglass, and try to locate the relief valve from the autoclavic realm. Those were the times when humans lost the pecking order to the reds, and as such, over eight thousand tormented days followed....

Excerpt Details
There were no times for personal manners when it came to sustaining a life in which everything was rationed out like an army battalion heading to the battlefield. It was a battleground where survival fought hunger toothpick versus bayonet. At any rate, postulation that the reds’ autoclavic realm wouldn't embrace a certain future; wasn't a grueling discovery. Hence, everyone was plucking the reds-ruined enterprises; while the reds were displuming everyone as a token of gratitude, as if they were edible birds. At first glance, it seems to me like a felicitous symbiosis and that, of course if the situation were assessed from afar, or at much higher altitudes. The reds were by all odds, building a beta future filled with unparalleled variables, where “if” or “else” was present at the end of each dogmatic statement. ...

Excerpt Details
Etterpå ligger det hele bak henne som en vond drøm, et tåkeaktig, grusomt mareritt. Hun husker alle ansiktene, alle de stirrende øynene, de sammenknepne munnene, den tette atmosfæren i det mørke kirkerommet da hun går alene opp midtgangen. Langt der fremme venter Abel som en ondskapens fyrste i enden av en uendelig lang og dunkel tunnel. Det gjelder om å holde ut, holde seg oppreist, ikke miste balansen og falle, vise seg stolt, ikke la seg knekke. Under den slitte kjolen kjenner hun hvordan knærne dirrer. Kan noen i denne sjøen av stirrende øyne se hvordan det er fatt med henne? 155 Hun er glad for at hennes far har vendt tilbake til Bergen. Det ville vært uutholdelig for ham å være vitne til dette. Omsider er hun fremme ved alterringen. Abel stopper henne. Han løfter hånden som tegn på at hun skal stanse. Cilla er forvirret. Hun skjønner ikke helt hva han vil. Men aldri har hun sett et styggere blikk. Hans åsyn er hardt og uten nåde. Hans hår er kjemmet, hans drakt er det ingen andre som har maken til. Slik han står foran henne, med hånden løftet til dom, ikke til forsoning, men til fordømmelse, besitter han all makt mellom h...
