"Köpte" är inte rätt ord. Jag gick förbi ett hus på en relativt fin gata som hade ställt ut en kartong med böcker till skänks och där snappade jag åt mig Thorton Wilders
The Bridge of San Luis Rey.

Citat:
It tells the story of several interrelated people who die in the collapse of an Inca rope bridge in Peru, and the events that lead up to their being on the bridge.[1] A friar who has witnessed the accident then goes about inquiring into the lives of the victims, seeking some sort of cosmic answer to the question of why each had to die. The novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928, and was the best-selling work of fiction that year.
