Tragicomedia fraterna con siglo XX de fondo

"My memories pale as I prevail upon them again and again. They become more and more ghostly. I fear nothing so much as losing them altogether and having only my blank endless mind to live in. If I could go crazy, if I could will that on myself, I might not know how badly off I am, how awful is this awareness that is irremediably aware of itself. With only the touch of my brother's hand to know that I am not alone."

Homer and Langley de E.L. Doctorow (Little, Brown, 2009 / Miscelánea, 2010)
