Translation examples
He had intended to eulogize his old friend Jim and, in doing so, to justify himself, but his portrait of Tim Archer, even less flattering than Didion’s of Pike, presents a dry pedant of a man, someone who, deaf to his interlocutors, overwhelms them with learned quotations and lards his monologues with terms like kerygma, parousia, and hypostasis.
Pese a que la intención inicial fuera la de hacer un elogio de su amigo y la de justificarse justificándolo, acabó superando a Didion, retratando al obispo como un hombre brusco y pedante que sin escuchar nunca a sus interlocutores los abrumaba con una avalancha de citas y términos como «kerigma», «parusía» e «hipóstasis».
