Inspired by Pat Del to add the link to Why I Live at the P.O., one of my all-time favorite short stories. By the wonderful Eudora Welty (1909-2001). art-bin.com/art/or_weltypostoff.html
Yes, but I couldn't find it. So, I now live at the post office. ;-b
There is a wonderful, hilarious short story by Eudora Welty called Why I Live at the P.O.art-bin.com/art/or_weltypostoff.html
Sylvain, you can probably find her stories translated into French. Perhaps at a large library? The P.O. story is in this collection: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Curtain_of_Green

After a couple of lines, I gave up google translation (a real disaster)
But I keep the name of Welty in around of my memory
