My friend and mentor Antonio Lois is organizing a beautiful ceremony in honor of Ezequiel Pérez Plasencia, a writer with whom I had the opportunity to chat in a couple of times and I was impressed by his humility and great culture literature. I leave the presentation has been prepared Antonio: I hope!
"I declare that a month before the trip I fell back into one of those self-destruction as devastating to the spirit. Two days unspeakable when I felt again the temptation to get it over with. The first was at 24, more or less, and the other at 32, more reckless. I had given power to annihilate. He had loved beyond what is reasonable and Cioran Bernhard, who left after the rotten and worms from the bed. Only the struggle and hard work saved me, not the hope of happiness or pleasure. At forty I know the constant yoke in the throat, the staging of the event, images and reactions, sobbing friends, probably remorse, recreation morbid.
Then walk again is only with courage. In this leads to Casey, who had tried twice, and won the third death. "
Ezequiel Perez Plasencia I wrote in" The Return of Calvert Casey ".
been half way to go (perhaps the most promising for Ezekiel), a piece of meat ignorant of the treasures of literature, and a battered condition, did take the train to remember. Surely there will be having a drink and smoke cigarettes across Camus and Casey, two of his favorite writers, from time to time look at the waterfront of Havana, Black Castle Tenerife, or the port of Cartagena and only sigh for what is not eternal retirement in the sea that drunk fantasies.
