An extract from The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster, one of the best contemporary American writers.
Honey and Tom are discussing their election votes.
Honey struggles to suppress a smile. Tom is so damned earnest, she's itching to knock him from his high horse with some loopy, off-the-wall remark. I can see the joke coming, and I cross my fingers that it's a good one.
'Do you know what happened the last time a nation listened to a bush?' Honey asks.
No one says a word.
'Its people wandered in the desert for forty years.'
In spite of himself, Tom burst out laughing.
