With this book we have to make a difference
The weight of worry and seriousness is huge
This has not happened before not this way

when we asked him if he’d killed
any Krauts or any Ja...

who beat his wife and kids
shot him
through the head
and used his fur
for a rug
this alligator was sat there
being an alligator
when a man
who raped a child
