My prior history with alcohol wasn’t alarming. No one drank in my house. I began to do it on teenage nights out, slightly debauched parties, like any young resident of Santiago, with no serious consequences. I only noticed that the more I drank, the better I felt. More potent. More ferocious. Less vulnerable. I’m not a sentimental drunk, no, not for anything. While we’re on the subject, I hate sentimentality and everything to do with it.

I hate a great number of things. I love some others. The color black, for example. Everything about me is black. My hair, jet. My eyes, coal. My clothes too. I surround myself with black because it has strength. I also like deep purple, and white, because it’s the sum of all colors. But give me something pink and I spit. The same with pale blue. I hate soft stories. Sorry, Simona, but leaving the man of your life because he watches a lot of TV? If she had described perverse impulses, I’d make an effort to understand her. If he had beaten her. My father thought he had every right to hit my mother, and the rest of us. A couple of times, when I was a teenager, I had to miss high school because I couldn’t explain a black eye. Was my dad a monster because of that? No, he honestly believed that was how you taught people, period.
