(auto)biography

[Juan Cires Martinez]

  "Its symmetries, its latencies, the *cuteness* of it enchanted and
   seduced us while the real Text persisted, somewhere else, in its
   darkness, our darkness ... even this far from Sudwest we are not to
   be spared the ancient tragedy of lost messages, a curse that will
   never leave us ..."
						      -- Thomas Pynchon
						      Gravity's Rainbow

This is exactly why I think the (auto)biography would be out of sync.
"The ancient tragedy of lost messages" is all over his novels,
everything is a text hanging in the air, inside the novels -- the texts
-- and outside: his hiding translates this "curse" to the reader.  It
would be consistent with his writing if he (the real Text) remained in
"our darkness".

Saludos, Juan.
