Book Name: The Sound of Things Falling A Novel
Writer: Juan Gabriel Vasquez
The main hippopotamus, a male the shade of dark pearls gauging a ton and
a half was shot dead in the center of 2009. He’d got away from two years
before from Pablo Escobar’s old zoo in the Magdalena Valley, and during
that time of freedom had decimated crops, attacked drinking box, alarmed
anglers, and even assaulted the reproducing bulls at a cows farm. The
marksmen who got up with him shot him once in the head and again in the
heart (with .375-caliber bullets since hippopotamus skin is thick); they
presented with the dead body, the great dull wrinkled mass, and as of late
fallen shooting star; and there, before the first cameras and spectators,
underneath a ceiba tree that shielded them from the harsh sun, they
clarified that the heaviness of the creature would forestall them from
transporting him entirely, and quickly started cutting him up. I was in my
apartment in Bogotá, 250 or so kilometers south when I saw the picture for
the first time, printed across a large portion of a page of public news-
magazine.
