„Nur um das festzuhalten: Die muffige alte Bücherei mit ihren Tapeten, die sich an allen Kanten aufrollen, mit ihren Milchglaslampen an der Decke, in denen es von toten Fliegen wimmelt, mit allem anderen, woran du dich erinnern kannst. Derselbe schäbige, zu Suppenfarbe vergilbte Globus. Die Kontinente in Länder wie Preußen und Belgisch-Kongo zerstückelt.“
