the last book I ever read (The Discreet Hero by Mario Vargas Llosa, excerpt ten)

from The Discreet Hero by Mario Vargas Llosa:

When he went out, the sun seemed even stronger. He walked slowly toward his house, and on the way only two strangers approached to greet him. He thought, with some relief, that gradually he’d stop being famous and well known. People would forget about the spider, and soon they’d stop pointing him out and coming up to him. Perhaps the day wasn’t distant when he’d be able to walk down the streets of the city again like an anonymous pedestrian.
