Normalmente, cuando leo a un ganador del Nobel me pasan dos cosas: o me encanta —como con Annie Ernaux y ahora con Joh Fosse— o me aburre y no vuelvo a leerlo nunca más. Este libro me fascinó. Conecté especialmente con las partes donde habla de la es ...more |

Mientras lo leía, tuve la impresión de que este libro no era para mí. Pensé que quizá era porque no soy argentino. Después, al terminarlo, lo comenté con un amigo argentino que es editor y me dijo: “parece un libro hecho para europeos”. Entonces, ¿pa ...more |

“No somos conscientes de lo delicada que es nuestra salud mental y seguimos riéndonos de los demás, criticando sus personalidades o sus características físicas, sin saber de qué forma eso los golpeará, sin tomar en cuenta lo que puede pasar por la cabeza de esas personas. Tenemos que aprender a sacar todas las palabras de amor que tengamos, debemos saber cómo manejar lo negativo para no afectar a otros.”

“- Te quiero... y te querré por siempre.
- Hasta que la última estrella estalle.
Ella siguió mirando las estrellas con ojos soñadores, podía verla flotar en el espacio con los brazos abiertos, dando vueltas lentamente. Yo vigilaba las estrellas, tratando de asegurarme que ninguna de ellas se apagara.”

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”

“I'm in love with you," he said quietly.
"Augustus," I said.
"I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

“Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've gotten more.'
'Seventeen,' Gus corrected.
'I'm assuming you've got some time, you interupting bastard.
'I'm telling you,' Isaac continued, 'Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness.
'But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.'
I was kind of crying by then.”
