Buongiorno! Anche oggi ritorna una traduzione per Lost in Translation! Il pezzo scelto questa volta arriva da un libro in inglese. Si tratta dell’inizio di One of Us is Lying (che fa parte della lista dei miei 12 libri da leggere quest’anno), il romanzo di Karen M. McManus pubblicato in Italia da Mondadori con il titolo Uno di noi sta mentendo. Bronwyn Lunedì 24 settembre, 14:55Un video porno. Una sospetta gravidanza. Due scandali per tradimento.

Previously => 1 & 2 & 3 September, 22nd 20XX I told Mr Martin what I’ve discovered at the Chinese restaurant and asked him if it can happen to forget about something you’re used to do so often. He didn’t answer, at least not directly. He just kept on mumbling something about me being confused and deciding to suppress some painful memories. Mr Martin’s not a good psychologist. No need to wait till now to find out; I just wanted someone to talk to who was not Loopy or my family

Previously –> 1 & 2 September, 8th 20XX Yesterday I met Mr Martin. He said he wants to read my get-through diary starting next week. He asked me to think about it and give him an answer.

There’s only one thing that I remember, as well as I know my name is Vicky, and that’s a letter. J. It’s the first letter of his name. A name I c

When it’s time to start you just want to leave… Credo di aver sentito questa frase da qualche parte. Forse era in un film o in una canzone, ma non ne sono certa. O forse l’ho appena inventata, non so, e voglio a tutti i costi attribuirla a qualcun altro perché l’idea che le sta dietro mi da un po’ sui nervi, specie oggi. Questo pomeriggio è iniziato un corso in università che ho deciso di seguire – anzi, è iniziato ieri ma per altri impegni non ci sono potuta andare – e già n
