I DID NOT RETURN THAT day, I went home, I went down to the basement to find the books written by Ruiz Person, but I had none of them. I hardly succeeded in connecting to the internet with Wi-Fi connection, because it was too far from the router, and searched. Ruiz Person appeared in Wikipedia.
Born in Las Pampas in 1967 and died in 1999 in Irxal. He has written two books: The Cock and the Eggs and Wages Welding.
That was all it said. Although it looked like they were talking about the same book, it was also clear that this was not the case. I sensed that it was a joke of Pablo himself. Therefore, I searched for The Cock and the Eggs and there I found it. Yes, I found it. Ruiz Person was a character in a novel by Pablo Pisces, a writer born in La Torreta who dies in Irxal in 2006. His death was perhaps a bit exaggerated, or a joke from some enemy or friend, or one from Pisces himself.
And then there was a list of his novels. Besides books of poems, stories, essays and philosophy, he had written 37 novels. Only a few appeared on Wikipedia:
The Lifeless Baby
The Murderer of No One
Things Have Their Charm
The Crisis of the Tartars
The Destar Trilogy: Milo, Melon and Milonga.
Minoestar Quartet: Lights and More Lights, Monday and Other Sundays, Tuesday Hopefully You Stay and The Shield of the Boar.
