Daily Dose

From The Secret of Evil, by Roberto Bolano, translated by Chris Andrews and Natasha Wimmer

GROOVE

"Although it seems counterintuitive, there is an airy quality to the uneasiness provoked by the memory of that day. And the joy is subterranean, like a geometric ship, perfectly rectangular in shape, gliding along a groove.
Sometimes Belano examines the groove."

From The Old Man of the Mountain
