5 do 12h
V njegovi roki se je znašel velik in težak pepelnik in z njim je kresnil brkača po tilniku ravno v trenutku, ko je ta dvigoval roko, da bi udaril Francija. Pepelnik se je razletel na koščke in brkačevo glavo je oblila kri. V naslednjem trenutku je Jaka brkača zgrabil za ovratnik in ga z vso močjo treščil z glavo v podboj, in ker model še vedno ni hotel pasti po tleh, je to ponovil še dvakrat, da se je oni končno zvrnil po tleh. Zdaj mu je pripeljal še lepo število brc v glavo, da je ta postala podobna pelatu. Brkač je bil videti onesposobljen in lahko se je sklonil k njemu, mu potegnil denarnico iz žepa ter planil proti izhodu. Na poti se mu je znašel neki model, ki bi lahko bil sovražnik ali pa le opazovalec, vendar ga je Jaka brez pomišljanja za vsak slučaj udaril. Zadel ga je ravno v nos in ta se je kot paradižnik zmlinčil pod njegovim udarcem ter ga oškropil s krvjo. Lenart Zajc

Zajc’s gallery of novel’s pictures is built out of urban and suburban images that were created in a world where fight is the only useful mean of survival. If in the first half of the novel insanity as some kind of tension that explodes because of absolutely bizarre reasons, then at the end of the novel a resignation and existence dominate. Two united poles mean a perfect victory. Zajc confirms his reputation of a dialogue and monologue master but in this novel his slang knowledge should also be mentioned why it makes the novel more genuine. On each page of the novel we can be assured that Zajc is a real writer, someone who listens, observes and lives the life. He thinks about writing and experiments. He takes risks!
