"Le soir, de fragiles langues de fumée rose sortaient des cheminées et la lune était orange et ronde au centre du ciel."

La phrase parfaite ? Ne la doit-on pas à l'autrice autant qu'à son traducteur ?

Latest read, Sucker (1933) from The Collected Stories of Carson McCullers. A high schooler, when life doesn't go his way, verbally abuses his awkward younger cousin, who lives with him like a brother.
McCullers wrote this at 16. Astounding. It's measured, articulate, & rings true.
There is a strong feeling that McCuller's influenced Stephen King in the way that they characterize.
