PREFATORY TO THE ROAD TO SAN JUAN DE PASTO.

Dear reader,
Please find the following pages as a record of the writings that were delivered to me by the person known to me as Conchita DeTumaco. After her arrest and trial, I was given her journals that included her stories and accounting of her life.
In a letter written from her place of incarceration, she asked for my forgiveness and hoped that in som Read more of this blog post »

“Lorraine"Goldie Showers"Showalter was past her prime.Once a fair skinned Las Vegas showgirl,now a lonely and love starved woman.The years of relentless sunshine discolored her previous lovely skin from pink to saddle-back orange.Her hair color came from a bottle as did her sharp tongue.
CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
"Wilbur will when nobody will”
Marc M. Minnick

“Do you think it is possible to be a good person,even-though you might have done things that others think are bad or repulsive?"
Francesca thought for a moment and then answered.
"I don't think,or better yet,understand how a good person could do bad things.”
Marc M. Minnick

“Are you from Saudi Arabia?"I asked.
"I'm not an Arab!"he exclaimed."I am Persian!"
He spoke at length,that his nationality was a thing of pride.He elaborated on,that his ancestors in Iran were a warrior class that served the Mufti's for centuries,and that he was a cousin,fifth removed to the Shah of Iran.I listened ,mesmerized but with feigned interest and couldn't help thinking his story was bullshit.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
"Ali-Aziz Mizraahi”
Marc M. Minnick

“It occurs to me that our survival may depend upon our talking to one another.”
Dan Simmons, Hyperion

“To my mind, a well-developed sense of humor is the surest indication of a person's humanity, no matter how black and bitter that humor may be.”
Thomas Ligotti

“He came out of nothingness, took form, was loved, was always bound to return to nothingness. Only I did not think it would be so soon. Or that he would precede us. Two passing temporarinesses developed feelings for one another. Two puffs of smoke became mutually fond. I mistook him for a solidity, and now must pay. I am not stable and Mary not stable and the very buildings and monuments here not stable and the greater city not stable and the wide world not stable. All alter, are altering, in every instant. (Are you comforted?) No. (It”
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

“Only then (nearly out the door, so to speak) did I realize how unspeakably beautiful all of this was, how precisely engineered for our pleasure, and saw that I was on the brink of squandering a wondrous gift, the gift of being allowed, every day, to wander this vast sensual paradise, this grand marketplace lovingly stocked with every sublime thing.”
George Saunders, Lincoln in the Bardo

“By nature, a storyteller is a plagiarist. Everything one comes across—each incident, book, novel, life episode, story, person, news clip—is a coffee bean that will be crushed, ground up, mixed with a touch of cardamom, sometimes a tiny pinch of salt, boiled thrice with sugar, and served as a piping-hot tale.”
Rabih Alameddine, The Hakawati
