"No creo que exista en el mundo imaginación suficiente para describir las dimensiones que tendría que tener una desgracia o simplemente un hecho para llegarnos a interesar seriamente unos minutos seguidos. Lo único que nos interesa realmente es la sensación momentánea, el instante instantáneo e inmediato. Contemplaríamos, probablemente, un hundimiento de gran volumen con una impavidez majadera, si encontrábamos que el espectáculo era suficientemente cómodo y divertido."
La cita es de un artículo de Josep Pla acerca de la quema de conventos en Madrid acontecida en 1931, momento en el que se levantaron serias dudas sobre la Segunda República.
No conocía al Pla articulista, escribiendo en castellano, pero ha sido un grato descubrimiento. Y ha acabado de convencerme de que sí, de que ahora el periodismo es mucho, mucho peor.

A fight between writers
Between Mario Vargas Llosa and Gabriel García Márquez. And the poor Gabriel ended up like this:
Ah, those violent latin americans... once I was hurt by one of them, they are pure evil. Anyway, my dear english readers, you can see I haven't forgotten you completely. As a matter of fact, I've been thinking long about you. Now that this blog has tags, I will be able to tag every english post, and so you will have an RSS channel dedicated to you, my dear english readers.
It can't be a coincidence that from the 19th to the 24th of March I will be in London (aka Cockney Town). I am so happy to go back to the past, to my lovely London, to the times when I was so fucking short of money... to four years ago. Bloody hell, they would say.
I'll stay at a hotel next to Victoria Station, near Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace and the Speaker's Corner. I'm going back there, see if the marxist guy's still speaking his bullshit. Oh, now he must speak about copyleft and free software and all that.
My dear english readers, be prepared for the soon to arrive The Fruitman Chronicles English RSS Feed.
