So, last night i was sitting at this bar and there was this lady sitting at the bar (thick newyork accent) and there was this guy who came by and tried to chat up everybody. I was reading juan rulfo's mindblowing work - pedro paramo - and this guy pretty much interrupted me from across the bar and asked me what i was reading then a second later he was trying his best to locate Karachi within Pakistan but obviously failing. The novel is pretty complex which is kind of an understatement to say given it is attributed to be the root of the so called magical realist fiction. There are voices talking to other voices, kind of like a dreamscape where everything is skillfully woven according to some hidden motif. And there was a line to the effect that dying people take away a bit of life from the people we know. Well, that seemed to be a pretty concept.
