Quotes by Giuseppe Caputo (?)

“Cuando peleábamos, mi padre besaba una foto de mi infancia; sin mirarme decía: "lo quiero a él, no a ti", y era doloroso, también, ponerme celoso de mí mismo.”
― Giuseppe Caputo, Un mundo huérfano

“Es una mano invisible, más grande que yo, la que me empuja contra la cama: quiero comer y no quiero. Quiero salir y no quiero, Me quedo noches acostado. Si olvido que murió, me obligo a recordar que ha muerto”
― Giuseppe Caputo, Un mundo huérfano

“Mientras lo oía, empecé a extrañar a mi padre, ahí mismo, estando a su lado, devastado por un pensamiento que se fue formando durante el brindis: “este hombre hermoso se va a morir un día”. Y mientras hablaba, entonces, y compartía su emoción, seguí extrañándolo más. Para calmar mi angustia, entonces, le empecé a rezar: “quédate siempre conmigo”, hasta que chocó su botella contra la mía. “¡Salud!”, gritó, y yo repetí “¡Salud!”
