Quote by Álvaro Enrigue

“Donde hoy están Sonora, Chihuahua, Arizona y Nuevo México había una Atlántida, un país de en medio. Los mexicanos y los gringos como dos niños sordomudos dándose la espalda y los apaches corriendo entre sus piernas sin saber exactamente adónde porque su tierra se iba llenando de desconocidos que salían a borbotones de todos lados.”

This was no longer a time for lingering in emotion. It demanded action. He abandoned drinking. He embraced a rigorous exercise regimen. He revolutionized his diet. He dropped twenty pounds.”
