Listen to Vica Delcă talk. She has crossed a cold, half-lit Bucharest to call on old Madame Ioaniu, and she never stops: about her ailments, her ungrateful relatives, the price of things, the neighbours, the dead, the whole of it pouring out in a coarse, funny, wheedling Romanian that Gabriela Adameșteanu catches so exactly you can almost smell the coat she came in.
Once, had she stayed in like this for whole days without going out, she would have felt the house falling in on her.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
