Notes
1 In the original text of this essay, following the first mention of the book title in Spanish, Pron often uses this format, i.e., the combined first initials of each word in the title. I have maintained this format in the translated text.—Translator’s note.
2 Throughout his novel, Pron refers to Rosario (literally rosary) his birthplace as “*osario,” ossuary or charnel house. Translator’s note.
