Description
Rui S., a political historian, is unable to accept the circumstances of his life: his mother's death from cancer, his estrangement from his family, his rejection by his first wife and children, his political vacillations and his ambigious feelings for his second wife.
First Sentence
ONE OF THESE DAYS I'll beach right here, devoured by fish like a dead whale," he told me on the street in front of the clinic while looking at the neighborhood's sad and faded buildings, the unlit neon signs like monograms on a napkin, the glittery remnants of season's greetings in the windows, and a single dog, this January morning, nosing through the remains of a demolished row house: dust, rubble, wood scraps, and soulless shards of tile.
