Life in the labor market. A short story by Fernando Sorrentino translated from Spanish by Clark M. Zlotchew. Also available in French (translated by Geneviève Baudry).

«After my graduation from high school I took a clerical job with a Buenos Aires insurance company. The job was extremely unpleasant and I found myself among some pretty annoying people with whom I had nothing in common, but as I was barely eighteen years old, I didn’t much care...»

The Lesson

Realmente cada vez que leo un cuento de Fernando Sorrentino quedo atrapada por el cuento hasta el final y además quisiera que siga. Me parece genial.

The Lesson

Estimado y querido Fernando, soy uno de los tantos jóvenes que seguramente aprendieron de vos coincidiendo en algún encuentro literario, en mi caso, uno de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Y solamente quiero decirte que, por enésima vez, lloré de risa con tu Lección.

Óscar Díaz Arnau
The Lesson
