We never stop reading, although every book comes to an end, just as we never stop living, although death is certain.

The rest of the details I'd rather not disclose; I'm still a romantic. A few hours later, as we were lying in the dark, I asked him who had given him the name Luscious Skin, so suggestive, so fitting. It's my name, he said. Well yes, I said, all right, it's your name, but who gave it to you? It was the tyrannical, slightly stupid kind of thing you say after you've made love. And he said: Mariá Font, and then he was quiet, as if he'd suddenly been overwhelmed by memories. His profile, in the dark, seemed very sad to me, thoughtful and sad. I asked, maybe with a hint of irony in my voice (perhaps I'd been overcome by jealousy, and sadness too), whether Mariá Font was the one who'd won the Laura Damián prize. No, he said, that's Angélica, Mariá is her older sister. He said a few more things about Angélica that I can't remember now. The question burst from me as if of its own accord: have you slept with Mariá? His reply (my God, what a sad, beautiful profile Luscious Skin had) was devastating. He said: I've slept with every poet in Mexico. What I should have done then was either be quiet or hold him, and yet I did neither, but kept asking him questions, and each question was worse than the one before and I lost a little ground with each one. At five in the morning we went our separate ways. I caught a cab on Insurgentes, and he walked off north.

Oggi non è successo niente. E se è successo qualcosa è meglio non parlarne, perché non l'ho capito.

Nothing happened today. And if anything did, I’d rather not talk about it, because I didn’t understand it.

Roberto Bolaño, from The Savage Detectives, 1998

No intento justificarme. Sólo intento contar una historia y tal vez comprender los resortes ocultos de ésta, aquellos que en su momento no vi y que ahora me pesan. Mi historia, sin embargo, no será todo lo coherente que yo quisiera. Y mi papel en ella oscilará, como una mota de polvo, entre la claridad y la oscuridad, entre las risas y las lágrimas, exactamente igual que una telenovela mexicana o que un melodrama yiddish.
