A Partisan's Daughter by Louis De Bernieres

A Piece Of Chapter One


The Girl On The Street Corner:

I am not the sort of man who goes to prostitutes.

Well, I suppose that every man would say that. People would disbelieve it just because you felt you had to say it. It's a self-defeating statement. If I had any sense I'd delete it and start again, but I'm thinking, "My wife's dead, my daughter's in New Zealand, I'm in bad health, and I'm past caring, and who's paying attention? And in any case, it's true."
