(2008) Mister Roberts
“A terrible fierce wind had been blowing since the afternoon and as darkness fell, the power lines that brought electricity up from Granada to these Spanish mountain villages swung together touching. The resulting explosion sent clusters of sparks falling into the olive groves, producing a number of small fires and causing the fine new street lighting with built-in stereo speakers that the mayor had only just had installed on the road to the village to snap into darkness. From across the street,... where he sat on a concrete bench inlaid with mosaic tiles, Stanley saw the lights go out in Bar Noche Azul and felt the sudden absence of its two TVs and one stereo as they yelped into silence.
The bench was uncomfortable to sit on being shaped like an angel lying on its side and weeping blue mosaic tears. It was a terrible pastiche of the work of the Catalan architect Antonio Gaudi. The mayor had had it built last year, to commemorate those who’d been murdered in the village and surrounding area during the civil war.MoreLess
