Quote by Jorge Baradit

“Estoy seguro que Chile es una serpiente enterrada como una semilla también, que si cavamos lo suficiente daremos con su piel seca, respirando. A veces sueño con ella. A veces está enterrada en mi propio cuerpo y tiene la forma de mi columna vertebral. Entonces la veo saltar desde la Patagonia, abrir la boca junto al lago Chungará, cerca de Arica, y morderme el cráneo con tanto placer que mancho la cama.”

“When you look at a map you’ll be struck by the fact that Chile is the longest and thinnest country in the world. While averaging only slightly more than 100 miles wide from west to east, it’s nearly 3,000 miles long from north to south: almost as long as the U.S. is wide. Geographically, Chile is isolated from other countries by the high chain of the Andes in the east separating it from Argentina, and by the world’s most barren desert in the north separating it from Bolivia and Peru.”
