jerusalem artichoke noun

Le bastaba pensar: «Ahora voy a San Giovanni» (había recordado de pronto que no se había regado una terraza de topinambur, que una plantación de berenjenas debía mostrar sus primeras hojas) y ya se sentía transportado allí, los gritos a los arrendatarios o a los jornaleros que le hervían dentro del pecho ya prorrumpían en una avalancha de improperios a hombres y mujeres, en los que la obscenidad había perdido todo calor de complicidad y se había vuelto austera y cuadrada como una pared de piedra.
He only had to think: “Now I’ll go to San Giovanni” (he’d suddenly remembered that a strip of Jerusalem artichokes hadn’t been watered, that some aubergine seeds should be sprouting their first leaves) and it was as if he’d already been transported there, already he was seething inside with the scolding he was planning to give his workers or day labourers and the words would be bursting from his breast in an avalanche of insults for men and women alike, insults whose obscenity had lost all the warmth of complicity to become as austere and compact as a stone wall.
