Només a la televisió, en un temps tan veloç que no el podem atrapar, la vida seguirà representant-se a ella mateixa. I ens semblarà més real que la real mort d'una vella solitària darrere la ports d'un apartament.
Però hi ha un altre ull que encara observa i que malda per travessar aquesta porta, totes les portes. És un ull en descrèdit, és l'ull del noveŀlista.
(Only on television, in time so quick we cannot catch it, life will continue representing itself to itself. And it will seem more real to us that the actual death of a lonely old woman behind the doors of an apartment. However there is another eye that observes still and strives to pass through that door, all the doors. It is an eye in disrepute, it is the eye of the novelist.)
