“i will always prefer barcelona in october. is it when the spirit of the city seems to stroll most profoundly through the streets, and you feel all the wiser after drinking the water from the old fountain of Canaletas…”

“i don’t know if you’ve noticed, if once the name of anybody who might in the natural course of things have always remained unknown…details begin to group themselves about the name, and you find all your friends talking to you about something which they’ve never mentioned to you before. you discover that this person was almost touching you and has passed close to you many times without your noticing it.”

less than 100 pages to go!!
