El Espectáculo del Vacío
The Spanish translation of The Spectacle of the Void is now available from Materia Oscura Editorial. The life of this book continues to amaze me. When I first wrote it, I never expected more than a handful of people would read it, and now it seems like a lot of readers find my fiction through my nonfiction. You just never know. I’m super grateful for everyone involved, Gary J. Shipley most of all.

“There is, in every event, whether lived or told, always a hole or a gap, often more than one. If we allow ourselves to get caught in it, we find it opening onto a void that, once we have slipped into it, we can never escape.”

“Memories die as soon as they are plucked from their surroundings, they burst, lose color, lose suppleness, stiffen like corpses. All that remains are shells with translucent edges. Half-erased brain platelets are a slippery terrain, deceptive. One’s mental archive is locked, it languishes in the dark. The past is riddled with holes, souvenirs can’t help here.
