Es una idea un poco desoladora: lo obliga a pensar a su padre visible, primero el de todos los días (mientras sigue junto a su madre), después el de los fines de semana (cuando se manda mudar de Ortega y Gasset), como una suerte de doble de cuerpo de otro, invisible, la réplica que ejecuta de manera mecánica, como quien sigue un manual de instrucciones, todo lo que hace un padre, el original, al parecer demasiado ocupado orejeando cartas, duplicando apuestas y amedrentando rivales con manos que no tiene como para trabajar de padre.
It’s a slightly distressing idea: it forces him to think of the father he can see, first the everyday one (while he’s still married to his mother), then the weekend one (after the order to leave Ortega y Gasset), as a sort of body double for some invisible other, a replica that mechanically, as though following an instruction manual, carries out everything that should be done by one father, the original one, who is apparently too busy guessing cards, doubling bets, and frightening rivals with hands he doesn’t have to do a father’s work.
