A man observes cynically life around him, in a US suburb.
"He was fascinated by suburban life, residents ran in circles like mice then dropping with exhaustion in twisted nests."

I don't get the twisted nests part : does it mean "pelotonnés dans leur nid" ?

Moi j'imagine un nid fait de brindilles entremêlées, comme un panier en osier, oui? un nid tressé...
Parce que twisted a vraiment le sens de "tordu", sur google image "twisted nest" renvoie vers des colliers qui pourront illustrer ça...

Oh I have though about "nids artificiels"???

But I guess it's more about "nids tressés".

Dans ce contexte cynique (#1), ce serait une notion comme "dans leurs petits tordus" ou "leur petits nids entremêlés" ? 👁 Eek! :o
