Poco sospechaban mis padres que con ocho años yo ya había descubierto que en el último cajón del armario del comedor, al que accedía merced al concurso de una silla y una caja de madera, había oculta, tras dos latas de galletas de Camprodón (que me pulí en su integridad) y un botellón de moscatel que por poco me sume en un coma etílico a la tierna edad de nueve años, una colección de novelas de Julián Carax que habían sido reeditadas por un amigo de la familia, don Gustavo Barceló.
Little did my parents know that by the time I was eight, I’d discovered, in the top drawer of the dining-room cupboard (which I reached with the help of a chair and a wooden box), a collection of Julián Carax novels republished by a family friend called Don Gustavo Barceló.
