"There are clues everywhere--all around us. But the puzzle maker is clever. The clues, although surrounding us, are somehow mistaken for something else. And the something else--the *wrong* interpretation of the clues--we call our world. Our world is a magical smoke screen. How should we interpret the happy song of the meadowlark, or the robust flavor of a wild strawberry?"

las mesitas de arriba, la sensación de historia, la madera, los colores, el polvo... y el milagro de que siempre haya mesas, en pleno North Beach.
Jonathan Franzen, The Corrections
"Maybe, if she'd been a better person, she would have left Robin alone. Maybe she wanted to make Robin like her simply to deny her the satisfaction of disliking her -to win that contest of esteem. Maybe she was just picking up the gauntlet. But the desire to be liked was real." 397
"From that day forward, Denise became a stealthy advocate of infidelity. She learned that by defending Brian's minor insensitivities she could spur Robin to more serious accusations with which she then reluctantly concurred. She listened and she listened.

She plied Robin with the questions Brian wasn't asking: about Billy, about her dad, about church, about her Garden Project plans (...)" 407

-I´m warning you it will probably just be me." (469).

"Sure. You could knock off a paper on the future of criticisim , couldn´t you?"
"I don't think it has much of a future," said Philip.

billy goat tavern
(Cuando Chicago es sólo una escala, una buena parada nostálgica en O'Hare, en el concourse de United. No hay nadie que no pida la cheeseburger).

rachmaninoff, concierto para piano nro. 2 x Richter

Sobre todo, por su romanticismo -pasión contenida, que es pronto pasión que explota y cubre al mundo-.

La vida nueva y La cena
En uno, el editor, figura entrañable y siempre en peligro de extinción...
En el otro, el regreso de los muertos vivos, los chacareros y la gente de pueblo...
