burnt orange lipstick
burnt orange lipstick is the book I started reading last night. It's a collection of short stories. I finished the one story and I really did not care for it at all. Mostly because I didn't understand it at all. I guess it's like Brian Regan said, "Reading is hard." :p
Anyway. Here's a bit from the story:
There was a movie on the bus. In the movie, a handsome young man runs over a puppy with his motorcycle. He nurses the puppy to health and the dog becomes his faithful companion. A band of hoodlums who work for the government find the man and torture him to death. By an act of luck, the whole thing is caught on tape, but the tape is lost during a bungled investigation. The dog has dreams and the dog's dreams are beautiful. Dog and owner run through colorful flower-filled landscapes. The dog kills each of his owner's murderers. Each time he finishes he brings a wreath of flowers to his owner's grave and dreams another dream.
In the end, the dog finds the video tape and brings it to the police.
01. How awful does that "movie" sound?
02. Do you think the dog hid the tape in the first place? (yes, I know it says "bungled investigation" but still)
03. If you had to name this movie what would you call it?
