No ignora que lo que está haciendo es infantil, y tal vez injustificado e incluso injusto, pero se resiste a regalarle algo al asesor político del gobernador que años atrás militó en el mismo grupo clandestino que su padre, sobreviviéndolo durante más de quince años, y que ahora, en vez de querer cambiar el mundo como antes, le dicta la política y le escribe los discursos al gobernador, cuyos únicos méritos son, como dice la gente, que no roba, que jugó en torneos internacionales de tenis llegando algunas veces a las semifinales de Wimbledon y de Roland Garrós, y que es amigo de un actor de Hollywood que de tanto en tanto se aparece por la ciudad para ir a pescar el dorado y el surubí río arriba, en el norte de la provincia.
He knows that what he’s doing is infantile, possibly unjustified and even unfair, but he refuses to give anything to the governor’s political advisor, who years before was active in the same clandestine group as his father, surviving him by more than fifteen years, and who now, rather than trying to change the world like before, writes policy and edits speeches for a governor whose only merit, according to most people, is that he doesn’t steal, who played in major tennis tournaments, reaching Wimbledon and the Roland Garros once or twice, and who’s friends with a Hollywood actor who shows up in the city every so often to take him fishing upriver, at the north end of the province, for golden dorado and tiger catfish.
