“Records from his BetMGM accounts show that, over the sixty-two days from May 16 to July 16, he placed at least one bet all but eight days. Thanks to an early hot streak, he ended his betting binge down just $1,500, a somewhat meaningful sum given his lack of steady income, but like the year prior, the toll was not just financial. On some days he spent nearly all his waking hours gambling, multiple times equating his mindset to being high on psychedelic mushrooms where gambling becomes “your reality,” a reality totally detached from all other parts of life. The stress of that reality led him to take up smoking and to drink a lot more alcohol than he otherwise would have. For the first round of the tournament, he stayed awake for nearly forty consecutive hours researching potential picks, discussing upcoming matches, and then watching them unfold. His preferred way to bet was to identify a match he liked and watch the first game or two to see how the players were performing. BetMGM would have let him bet on every single serve if he had wanted to.”

“Recordé la frase de Carracedo, aquella que me conmovió al oírsela el día del funeral de Manolo Castro: a partir de una edad todos somos ya su-pervivientes. ¡Cuánta razón tenía! Cercano a los sesenta, al borde, pues, de la jubilación si en lugar de dedicarme a escribir hubiera seguido trabajando en prensa, las pérdidas a mi alrededor se contaban por docenas no sólo entre mis familiares sino también entre mis antiguos compañeros de trabajo y mis amigos. La vida, como la guerra, había sembrado de cadáveres mi horizonte, unos reales y otros sentimentales, como los de las mujeres de las que me enamoré antes de encontrar a
Martina.”

“Recordó entonces que la madurez no anuncia su llegada con trompetas, sino con el sigilo de una certeza amarga: que el crecimiento exige la retirada, que el alma se ensancha en la intemperie, y que toda marcha hacia lo alto prescinde del aplauso.
No es deslealtad que algunos queden atrás, sino el ritmo natural de quien ha comprendido que la grandeza no convoca multitudes. El espíritu que asciende aprende a despedirse sin rencor, como quien deja atrás el valle no por desprecio, sino porque ha oído el llamado de la cumbre.
Y le dijo: —Sepa usted que, tarde o temprano, deberá estar dispuesto a caminar solo. No requiere permiso alguno para crecer. No todos los que iniciaron su viaje con usted llegarán hasta el final, y eso está bien. La soledad, a veces, es parte del precio de la grandeza.”

“Recorrí pasillos y galerías en espiral pobladas por cientos, miles de tomos que parecían saber más acerca de mí que yo de ellos. Al poco, me asaltó la idea de que tras la cubierta de cada uno de aquellos libros se abría un universo infinito por explorar y de que, más allá de aquellos muros, el mundo dejaba pasar la vida en tardes de fútbol y seriales de radio, satisfecho con ver hasta allí donde alcanza su ombligo y poco más. Quizá fue aquel pensamiento, quizá el azar o su pariente de gala, el destino, pero en aquel mismo instante supe que ya había elegido el libro que iba a adoptar. O quizá debiera decir el libro que me iba a adoptar a mí. Se asomaba tímidamente en el extremo de una estantería, encuadernado en piel de color vino y susurrando su título en letras doradas que ardían a la luz que destilaba la cúpula desde lo alto. Me acerqué hasta él y acaricié las palabras con la yema de los dedos, leyendo en silencio.

“Recourse to thick narrative detail reveals that the principal hurdle in the way of a united Pakistan was not disagreement on constitutional matters but the transfer of power from military to civilian hands. More concerned with perpetuating himself in office, Yahya Khan was strikingly nonchalant about the six points. He left that to the West Pakistani politicians, in particular Bhutto, who, contrary to the impression in some quarters, was more of a fall guy for the military junta than a partner in crime.”

In a certain sense, members of a dysfunctional family are participating in a ‘consensual trance‘, i.e., a ‘survival trance’ supported by false narratives, toxic shame, anxiety, and egoic defense mechanisms, such as denial and projection.”

“Recovering from suffering is not like recovering from a disease. Many people don’t come out healed; they come out different. They crash through the logic of individual utility and behave paradoxically. Instead of recoiling from the sorts of loving commitments that almost always involve suffering, they throw themselves more deeply into them. Even while experiencing the worst and most lacerating consequences, some people double down on vulnerability. They hurl themselves deeper and gratefully into their art, loved ones and commitments.”
