In Salas, it was fun to pull writer Daniel around the city in a fire truck to say hello to people.
Have you met Erin? (Antonio, Erin's husband, boyfriend's past friend)
- Well, we met yesterday, and we walked and talked.
Very good, do you think she is okay?
-very good.
What do you think of her?
- She looks great, Erin is a good woman.
You know, it's hard, really hard. It's been three years since you left, and she still cares about you. I remember one day after we got married, I came home and found her crying and very sad. She was reading your book and she wanted to hide, but I saw it. She finishes reading all your books, she goes to Buenos Aires or buys books here. She follows in your footsteps as much as possible, all her life. Why am I telling you this? Because you are my brother, friend, I want to tell you that all this is over by now, it is in the past, forget it.
Winning a Nobel Prize turns you into a sculpture.
Full of irony. Those couples who say they are in love (Antonio and Erin) are full of betrayal, selfishness and lies in the blink of an eye.
I thought it would be a warm hometown trip, but I didn't expect it to be so ironic and thoughtful? After reading it, I really hate this town.
I think all I've been doing my whole life has been running away from that place, and my characters can't leave, and I can't go back.
