Quote by Joan Lluís Bozzo

“El Pepe Rubianes i en Miquel Periel compartien habitació a casa de la sogra del Pepe, la Lucila, que els feia un pisto manchego que era l'enveja de tots els altres membres de la companyia. Com que el pis era molt petit, el Pepe i en Miquel dormien en una llitera i el Pepe llegia al seu company els poemes d'amor que escrivia a la seva dona absent. Eren poemes de tall lorquià, molt abrandats, i una d'aquelles nits poètiques, mentre llegia en veu alta, li va caure del cel una gran gota d'aigua salada que es va escampar pel paper i en va difuminar les lletres: era una llàgrima d'en Miquel, que escoltava emocionat, abocat a la seva llitera.”

“I bit into the chocolate chip. Slowed myself down. By then, almost a week in, I could sort through the assault of layers a little more quickly. The chocolate chips were from a factory, so they had that same slight metallic, absent taste to them, and the butter had been pulled from cows in pens, so the richness was not as full. The eggs were tinged with a hint of far away and plastic. All of those parts hummed in the distance, and then the baker, who'd mixed the batter and formed the dough, was angry. A tight anger, in the cookie itself.”

“The sensor did not seem to be restricted to my mother's food, and there was so much to sort through, a torrent of information, but with George there, sitting in the fading warmth of the filtered afternoon springtime sun spilling through the kitchen windows, making me buttered toast which I ate happily, light and good with his concentration and gentle focus, I could begin to think about the layers. The bread distributor, the bread factory, the wheat, the farmer. The butter, which had a dreary tang to it. When I checked the package, I read that it came from a big farm in Wisconsin. The cream held a thinness, a kind of metallic bumper aftertaste. The milk- weary. All of those parts distant, crowded, like the far-off sound of an airplane, or a car parking, all hovering in the background, foregrounded by the state of the maker of the food.”
