'It isn't anything he ever says. It's the way he looks at her now, the way he has been looking at her for the past few months, without any noticeable interest, his eyes blank, unfocused, as if looking at her were no different from looking at  a spoon or a washcloth, a speck of dust.'

From Sunset Park by Paul Auster 2006 Prince of Asturias Prize for Literature

Wonderful Wilde

BIBLIOTECA CENTRAL SAN SEBASTIAN DE LOS REYES OCT 11th 19:15h
METRO BAUNATAL
On the 11th  at our shared readings we will read 'The Devoted Friend' by Oscar Wilde.
 People well versed in literature are familiar with Oscar Wilde's miller.
It is a well known tale told by animals and as always nature is the beautiful backdrop.  A children's story that fills you with admiration for the writer's ability to gently denounce deep injustices.
Many thanks to Raquel for finding the link.
