Texto en español en Memorias Del Dakota: "Suave"

Traducido al inglés por Karina Alonso Dominguez
 

He thought all knives were similar. However, his wife had started caressing one of the knives in the drawer more than usual. Before, much before than he arrived his home with his creased and lipstick-stained shirt.

L’impiegato del mese — Alejandro Bentivoglio

Texto en español en Memorias del Dakota: "El empleado del mes"

Traducido al italiano por Stefano Valente

Di tutti gli impiegati che dormono in ufficio io sono l’unico sonnambulo che non smette mai di lavorare. Questo mi ha procurato vari elogi da parte dei miei superiori e sono sicuro che la promozione sia imminente.
Stamattina, per l’appunto, dicevo a González che non resterei affatto sorpreso se il Direttore Generale in persona lasciasse un cuscino solo per me sulla mia scrivania.

What I leave behind - Alejandro Bentivoglio


Texto en español en Memorias del Dakota: "Lo dejo todo atrás"

Traducido al inglés por Karina Alonso Dominguez.


Sometimes I stop and turn around. I try to follow my steps, the way I left behind. I found shoes, ashes, little bones, strange tear-shaped stones, unmatching colour socks.

Intruder - Alejandro Bentivoglio


Texto en español en Memorias del Dakota: "Intruso"

Traducido al inglés por
Karina Alonso Dominguez


I woke up in an unknown room. I say hello to my wife who shouts at me at the very moment she sees me. I prepare my breakfast, she calls the police. Soon the block is surrounded. I dress myself in clothes that don't look on me. When I go out I see patrols and dozens of policemen. They aim their guns at me. I tell them to be quiet. Nothing to worry about. It's not me, that's all.

Marriage life - Alejandro Bentivoglio


Texto en español en Químicamente impuro: "Vida de casados".

Traducido al inglés Karina Alonso Dominguez.

On the train I met a blonde girl who told me I was the man of her life. At first, I believed her words but later I saw that the train guard was getting closer and I realized she didn't have the train ticket. As any other gentleman would have done it, I paid for it. We didn't talk during the rest of the journey. When we got off the train, at the last station, I demanded divorce.
