I've been here for four thousand one hundred and twenty-four long days, and during all this time, I've undeservedly received a gift, namely an ebook, from the ever-so-lovely @[Flo] (whom I will always thank for this) who made it available to anyone interested. The original title is "Os Cus de Judas," and it was the second book published by António Lobo Antunes back in '79. In Italy, it was only released in '96 (just think about how poorly we were doing back then regarding modern/contemporary literary cultures beyond our national borders...) with the curious title "In culo al mondo." The reason for this long preface is soon explained: since I'm running out of internal space on my kindle and I only have about sixty megabytes left, I wanted to make some space by first deleting the English/Italian dictionary, which you can find online whenever you want, so I can add the last fifty books downloaded on the work PC. While scrolling through the kindle list, I spotted my bookmarks, including a couple of highlighted phrases from ALA's novella.

"And as for philosophy, my dear, the editorial of the newspaper is enough for us, as rich in ideas as the Gobi desert can be rich in Eskimos."

"My father, skinny and angular like a Mormon, drifted on the armchair, propelled by the ship's chimney of his pipe."

And nothing, but if you get the chance, I highly recommend reading it nonetheless...
