Zuberino Zuberino said: " চেখভের নির্বাচিত গল্পের পাশাপাশি এই জীবনী পড়তে বেশ ভালোই লাগছে, বিশেষ করে জীবনীকার যখন ভি এস প্রিচেট-এর মত জাঁদরেল লেখক। বলা বাহুল্য, প্রিচেট নিজেই বিংশ শতাব্দীর অন্যতম শ্রেষ্ঠ ইংরেজ ছোটগল্পকার হিসেবে পরিচিত। চমতকার প্রাঞ্জল দ্রুতলয়ের গদ্যে বিবৃত ক ...more "

Pedro Mairal
“He had a heart attack here in Montevideo, barely lived to tell the tale. There is something like a Bermuda Triangle here, it’s not to be underestimated. It’s kind of the B-side of the River Plate, the side that’ll eat you right up. If you can’t handle it, it’ll kill you. You have to be careful with Uruguay, especially if you come thinking it’s like the countryside in Argentina only everybody’s good, there’s no corruption, no Peronism, you can smoke pot on the street, the cute little country where everyone is a good person and friendly and all that bullshit. If you’re not paying attention, Uruguay will fuck you in the ass.”

“Enzo!” said Clara”
Pedro Mairal, La uruguaya

“The future we face in the Pacific may be dangerous, but I suspect it will be anything but dull.”
Christopher J. Koch, Crossing the Gap: A Novelist's Essays

David Diop
“His white belly is exposed, it rises and falls in jerks. The enemy from the other side gasps and screams, now in stark silence because of the gag I’ve cinched around his mouth. He screams in stark silence when I take all the insides of his belly and put them outside in the rain, in the wind, in the snow, or in the bright moonlight. If at this moment his blue eyes don’t dim forever, then I lie down next to him, I turn his face toward mine and I watch him die a little, then I slit his throat, cleanly, humanely. At night, all blood is black.”
David Diop, At Night All Blood is Black

Cees Nooteboom
“...I am sitting on the wall of the castle, looking out over the city, the river, the dish of sea beyond. Oleander, frangipani, laurel, great elm trees. A girl is sitting nearby, writing. The word "goodbye" is drifting in the air around me and I can't seem to catch hold of it. This entire city is a goodbye. The fringe of Europe, the last shore of the first world, it is there that the corroded continent sinks into the sea, dissolves into the infinite mist which the ocean resembles today. This city does not belong to the present, it is earlier here because it is later. The banal has not yet arrived. Lisbon is reluctant. That must be the word, this city puts off the moment of parting, this is where Europe says goodbye to itself. Lethargic songs, gentle decay, great beauty. Memory, postponement of metamorphosis. Not one of those things would find its way into Dr Strabo's Travel Guide. I send the fools to the fado taverns, for their dose of processed saudade. Slauerhoff and Pessoa I keep to myself...”
Cees Nooteboom, The Following Story

“Yet in diplomacy nothing lasts, nothing is absolute, a conspiracy to murder is no grounds for endangering the flow of conversation.”
John le Carré, A Perfect Spy
