Quotes I liked:

”I also wonder if your silence hasn't fostered the uncertainty in which I now find myself. Sometimes I succumb to doubting the whole story, as if it's not what I lived but a tale I've told myself again and again an infinite number of times. At that thought, the feeling of bewilderment I have becomes abyssal, hypnotic, a kind of existential precipice inviting me to take a definitive leap.”

”At last, after a long journey, I decided to inhabit the body where I was born, in all its peculiar-ities. When all is said and done, it is the only thing that belongs to me and ties me to the world, and allows me to set myself apart.”

” After everything, Dr. Sazlavski, my doubts don't make me so afraid. There is something healthy and good, as well as maddening, in calling into question the events of a life and the veracity of my own history. Maybe it's normal, this continuous sense of the ground falling out from below. Maybe all the certainties that I have always carried about myself and the people around me are becoming blurred now. My own body that for years constituted my only believable link to reality now feels like a vehicle that's breaking down, a train I've been riding all this time, going on a very fast trip toward inevitable decline. Many of the people and places that used to make up my recurrent landscapes have disappeared with astonishing ease, and many of those remaining, through accentuating their neuroses and facial gestures so fiercely, have turned into caricatures of who they once were. The bodies where we are born are not the same bodies that we leave the world in.”
