The Man of Feeling
“First I looked in my mailbox and picked up the letters that had been waiting for me since the morning. No one had brought them up to me because no one has come to see me today. And I've had the answering machine on too, so I haven't seen or spoken to anyone all day, and the day is nearly over. Among various circulars from banks and the odd pre-contract to sing in a couple of years' time at some particular spot on the globe where I know I will be sure to find myself on that precise and distant d...ate, the only letter in the box (and which I read while I was waiting for supper amid the gabble of tourists) was from that man, Noguera, the husband or widower of my girlfriend Berta. Surprisingly—given my silence—he has written to me again, on today of all days, just when Berta had appeared to me again in this morning's dream, only three weeks after I had learned of her death by the same marital route. Noguera, in this second letter, which I have just read, initially goes on again about my old books and warns me that if I do not write to confirm that I want them back, he will have no option but to throw them on the fire along with everything else (that is what he says, "throw them on the fire," an odd expression given that spring is already here).MoreLess
