the blow of the scythe, rushes to the door, leaves in a hurry, and locks and deadbolts it behind him, leaving the reaper locked inside. Shortly after, and while he is getting his wits about him in Madrid's Plaza Mayor, he reaches a Faustian pact with the devil, the distinguished Forcas (with permission to travel to Earth), to whom he sells his soul in order to be free, at least temporarily, from meeting the Cold Lady again. Meanwhile, Tomás Beovide, poet and Literature teacher at the Juan García Hortelano Secondary School, corrects exams, laments the abandonment of his girlfriend, grieves happily over his unhappy love encounter with Maribel Arbusto and consoles himself by listening with joy to the long-suffering love songs of his admired Julie London. And we don't go on counting because everything that follows is pure nonsense, a narrative implausibility where a wild and stubborn nonsense builds its own logic until it blows any reasonable expectation or argument out of the water." -- Translation provided by NLS
