Prose Javier Marias, no doubt, intelligent and full of charm. The writer has mastered the magic word.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Another man's death unreal, it - theatrical action. You can die in a brothel in his socks in the morning or in the bathroom with one cheek in a lather. And it will be a comedy. Or die in a duel, holding hands shot to the stomach. Then it will be a drama. Or at night when the home dream of you in my dreams - still alive. And then it will be a novel that you will read it.
Marias is a report from the orchestra pit "Theatre of Death", it is between the audience and the stage.
