Es imposible usar en las narraciones de Chéjov la manoseada expresión «pedazo de vida», porque un pedazo es un fragmento de algo y esto es precisamente lo que no se tiene la impresión de leer;
You cannot use of Chekov’s stories the hackneyed expression of the slice of life, for a slice is a piece cut off and that is exactly the impression you do not get when you read them;
Esto empezó a ocurrir tras nuestro primer asalto, que me cogió desprevenido, del que escapé ya alarmado y maltrecho y durante el que me interrogó sobre mis cometidos y atribuciones en la BBC Radio y pasó a proponerme al instante seis o siete proyectos de emisiones radiofónicas que oscilaban entre lo imperial y lo necio, coincidiendo ambas cosas más de una vez, supuestamente beneficiosos para su Embajada y nuestro país y sin duda alguna para él y su promoción, pues me comunicó que era experto en la pobre Generación del 27 (pobre por explotada y sobada), en el pobre Siglo de Oro (pobre de tan manoseado y mentado), y en los nada pobres escritores fascistas de la preguerra, la postguerra y la intermedia guerra, que en todo caso eran los mismos (sufrieron pocas bajas durante la contienda, mala suerte), y a los que él no dedicó desde luego ese epíteto, le parecían gente honorable y desinteresada aquella pandilla de delatores y chulos mayúsculos.
This began to happen after our first bout together, which caught me unawares, and from which I escaped feeling alarmed and battered and during which he interrogated me about my duties and my influence at the BBC and went on to propose six or seven ideas for radio programmes which ranged from the imperial to the downright stupid, often both at once, and which would purportedly prove beneficial to his embassy and our country and doubtless to him and his prospects, for, he told me, he was an expert on the writers of our poor Generation of ’27 (poor in the sense of over-exploited and stale), on those of our poor Golden Age (poor because hackneyed and over-exposed), and on our not at all poor fascist writers from the pre-Civil War, post-Civil War and intra-Civil War periods, who were, in any case, one and the same (they suffered few losses during the fighting unfortunately), and to whom he did not, of course, apply that epithet, for this band of out-and-out traitors and pimps seemed to him honourable, altruistic people.
