- The Fictile Word / January 2010
A short story by Fernando Sorrentino about a man obsessed with cleanliness. Translated from Spanish by Emmy Briggs.
«Like everyone else, I have my own phobias and manias. I am obsessed by cleanliness. I like animals, but only in the zoo or in museums. I do not touch, nor do I allow myself to be touched by dogs or cats. I do everything I can to eliminate spiders or insects at home. I cannot even stand the zooming by of a fly or a mosquito. Fine...»
