Reality, dreams, doppelgängers, literature, love, and darkness.

This tiny book has it all in spades. ( )

I liked the book. I'm not particularly in love with it, it didn't particularly grip my soul and compel me to dwell on it for hours, but it was fine. And fast to read. And we'll see how much I still like it once semester is over... ( )

Epigraph
El hombre caza y lucha,
La mujer intriga y sueña;
es la madre de la fantasia,
de los dioses.
Posee la segunda visión,
las alas que le permiten volar hacia
el infinito del
deseo y de la imaginación...
Los dioses son como los hombres:
nacen y mueren sobre
el pecho de una mujer...
Man hunts and struggles.
Woman intrigues and dreams;
she is the mother of fantasy,
the mother of the gods.
She has second sight,
the wings that enable her to fly
to the infinite of
desire and the imagination...
The gods are like men:
they are born and they die
on a woman's breast...

JULES MICHELET
Dedication
a Manolo e Tere Barbachano
