"Apretando el auricular contra mi oreja -como quien intenta oír el mar en una caracola- miré hacia la pared del fondo, donde colgaban algunos paisajes de aspecto grasiento, 'originales' pero sin interés. En uno o dos aparecían las cabañas y el espigón de una aldea de pescadores en un mundo no tan bien diseñado como el nuestro. Había un atardecer con franjas de sebo ocre. Costaba poco imaginar que las barcas de vastas velas triangulares pronto zarparían en busca de presas bastante más amorfas y menos evolucionadas que la pescadilla. Alguien estaría mirando a través de la ventana, escribiendo en una carta: 'no hemos de juzgar a Dios por este asunto. Es solo un boceto que no resultó'. Esta inversión platónica, la sugerencia de que lo nuestro quizás no sea la sombra sino la cosa -el Pleroma, y no un índice imperfecto- me atrajo oscuramente. Afuera un perro negro describía círculos en la arena, bajo la lluvia, lanzando dentelladas a las gaviotas que revoloteaban como mariposas tres metros más arriba".
El curso del corazón, M. John Harrison

JUST READ: The 4th Domain by M. John Harrison (2014).
A short story by a writer I knew nothing about until a recommendation a couple of days ago by a friend. I loved this story. Strange, disjointed, shifting realities, yet still rooted in the everyday. Now I need to read more!

Perhaps the worst discovery of all is that you don’t even have to be very good at something to ache from missing it.

I'm reading a short story collection that's all this genre of low key English social dread. And that is fine in small doses but if I read too much of that, I start to feel...not good in myself. Like everything is light grey and there's a (metaphorical) shadow policeman peeking out sternly behind everyone's eyes. Do you know what I'm talking about?
