consumed by bull fights, by religion, by family, by poetry, by art—there is
something in common, something basal in these types of people—maybe it’s
a certain type of talking or thinking, but everything becomes interrelated to
whatever has consumed them, and with that, the outside world assumes the
shape of their passion. To the writer, a conversation overheard in passing is
a passage in a novel, analogously, to the fly fisherman, a certain texture, a
certain material is translated into a piece of a bug, a wing, an eye.
