Friends and professional colleagues parade (many of them, dead already), his movies, his books, their troubles reporting around the world, his physical and soul ailments… She likes people individually, even, four by four, but in its entirety humanity is quite disgusted. “Personally good; internationally, very badly", He usually answers when they ask him how he is.. It is one of the many pearls that this journalist drops throughout the book, like few others who thinks about going “to the country without coverage” while busy with her things., laughing at herself, without regretting anything and somewhat relieved by all the dirt she leaves behind. And when I'm gone? No solemnities. She asks that no virtues be added or defects removed., May those who need comfort, have a spree for your health. S.M.
