Thom Jones, The Pugilist at Rest
"I know that my buddy Jorgeson was a real American hero. I wish that he had lived to be something else, if not a painter of pictures then even some kind of fuckup with a factory job and four divorces, bankruptcy petitions, in and out of jail. I wish he had been that. I wish he had been anything rather than a real American hero."

"أعلم أن صديقي يورغنسون كان بطلاً أمريكيًا حقيقيًا. أتمنى لو أنه عاش ليكون شيئًا آخر، إن لم يكن رسامًا، فليكن حتى فاشلاً من نوع ما، يعمل في مصنع، وله أربع زيجات فاشلة، وإفلاسات متكررة، يدخل السجن ويخرج منه. أتمنى لو كان كذلك. أتمنى لو كان أي شيء آخر سوى بطل أمريكي حقيقي."
