A Practical Guide to Levitation by José Eduardo Agualusa

 

"I started writing again. I write with urgency. If I don't write, I don't die. I don't waste away, and I don't even risk going hungry. I've got my little hotel. I lead a peaceful life. The best thing about old age is that we no longer feel the need to prove ourselves. I like walking on the beach in the early evening. I step into the tranquility of the waters and lie on my back, floating. I love it."
