![]() ![]() Rat agrees to hide the bag and he recognizes the key: it’s for a locker in Central Station. Rat, who is about 11 years old, lives by himself in a wet trash hole full of rats. Knowing that they could get in trouble for lying, Raphael and Gardo decide to hide the bag with a boy nicknamed Rat (whose real name is Jun-Jun, though people sometimes call him Jun). Raphael’s auntie foolishly tells them that Raphael found something, so Raphael lies, saying that he found a shoe. That evening, the police showed up at Behala (which rarely happens)-they’re looking for the bag. Raphael splits the money with Gardo and he pockets the bag. Inside the bag is 1,100 pesos, a map, a key labeled 101, and identification for a 33-year-old man named José Angelico who worked as a servant in a rich part of town called Green Hills. ![]() Raphael reflects on the day everything changed: it starts when Raphael finds a bag. Since not many people in their city have toilets, human feces-or, stupp-ends up wrapped in paper and thrown in the trash, which is what most of Behala’s residents spend their days wading in as they dig out garbage with their feet or hooks that they fashion out of metal.

Now let’s hear from Hamsun about the man in the yellow suit. According to Isaac Bashevis Singer, “The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun.” No wonder so many of the modern masters – including Ernest Hemingway, John Fante, and Charles Bukowski – admired Hamsun and considered him one of their greatest teachers. The opening paragraphs set up the story and the basic plot in a suspenseful way that pulls in the reader. Henry Miller called the novel “closer to me than any other book I have read.” ![]() In his novel Mysteries (1892), Norwegian author Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) offers a master class in how to open a story, introduce a main character, and create dramatic interest. ![]() ![]() She finds friendship with Billy, a reclusive friend of her mother’s and the reticent farmhand Daniel.

Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly - very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it - oh so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all closed, closed, so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded - with what caution - with what foresight - with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold and so by degrees - very gradually - I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture - a pale blue eye, with a film over it. ![]() It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily - how calmly I can tell you the whole story. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. True! - nervous - very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses - not destroyed - not dulled them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her second picture book, Zora's Zucchini, won the 2016 Growing Good Kids Book Award.
