¿Cómo puede suceder que una cosa se encierre en un nombre y no salga ya nunca?

“Number and word: yes. Silence and sound: yes. Word detached from language, prior to language, forlorn, pure, limpid.”
“Where was she going? She didn’t know. To an island. To a mountain. To the sea. No, not to the sea, to a sea. Everything was a, a place that already existed. It wasn’t so much the fear of leaving that terrified Marina but the idea of that space, that intricate, bountiful, preconceived place, full of beforehands.”

lagrimeé en una parte, suficiente pa darle 5 estrellas. los niños son crueles y oscuros; la infancia nunca ha sido un lugar de pura luz.

Menos mal que es corto, porque con lo lento que es no hubiera terminado nunca. El lenguaje es pretencioso, se nota que el escritor se siente muy satisfecho de sí mismo mientras que el lector sencillamente se aburre. 107 páginas para un párrafo de mínimo interés, y cuando por fin llega ese clímax te quedas pensando: ¿eso era todo? Un libro muy prescindible.
