eight words (by kind request of Gyacinta ): alley, skyscraper, lost, Paul Auster, path, destiny, Italo Calvino, Gyacinta (+ Barbara).
Carmen Gonzales walked through the streets of Manhattan with his back a little 'bent to the awe.
was to be lost out of the alley where she had lived all his life but he had made a promise and now he walked along the borough intabarrata in his coat of blue cloth, with the package under his arm and hand in the paper address . The Crystal Cobalt was rather low to be able to define a skyscraper, but still much larger than any building in which Carmen had never entered.
- Estoy looking Mr. Jeff DeBarbara - asked timidly at the door.
Ramon had told her that a publisher was very important, so important in his stable to reject the likes of Philip Roth or Paul Auster. Carmen nodded at those names, although he had never heard before.
- I do not want to see, nunca - thought turned to the envelope.
But, for a benign twist of fate, after a couple of hours was received by the big guy himself.
-Hello-lady debuted DeBarbara.
I always get a postulant-month-explained by noting the woman's incredulous expression. -Let me guess, you wrote a masterpiece and want to submit it to my attention, I say right?
- No senor, I do not even list escriba para spending.
-Oh! So what do you want from me?
- You gotta give esto, es by Ramon de - said handing the envelope.
-A writer?
- No, it was el camarero Hotel Bella Italy. But now such old, eg Moribund.
DeBarbara pacifier his cigar in silence, letting go of thoughts for some mysterious path.
-What's the story behind it?
read-Ramon siempre los libros. It was only on pasion. He worked and read, read and work. And only trabajo lectura. Un dia a great hotel in Ariva escritor famous. Ramon was so happy Porque also escritor de Cuba was original, just like him. Ramon has done so sin entered his room in occult and silent apierto has a bag full of cards and stole a fojo.
-What was written on paper?
-A fable. But he did not read, nunca. Solo el titulo, then he closed. But if ashamed to Volvo back. Ahora esta Ramon to die.
-E because he wants to give to me?
-Ramon says that you know. Also you go to siempre 'Hotel Bella Italy. Ramon says Abasto es you spot the fable to return to Pueblo.
-Ramon gave me his booty because he thinks I'm crazy?
Carmen stood up and walked away without another word.
What was supposed to do he had done and could now go home.
DeBarbara was alone in his office to think of the strange story.
had not believed a word: probably was not the tale of some mysterious Hispanic writer of the past but Ramon had written it himself, or perhaps the same Carmen.
That was all a lie invented just for curiosity. The best thing would be to tear the folder and go lunch but basically a good thing she had said to Jeff was pretty spot.
opened the package and looked at the title: "The gardens of Gyacinta , Italo Calvino."
