“I had a job with a pompous-sounding title . . ."


“I had a job with a pompous-sounding title, a modest salary, duties as a plagiarist, and flexible working hours. …. My editorial staff was limited to Pascual, a youngster who slicked down his hair with quantities of brilliantine and loved catastrophes.”

from Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa, born March 28, 1936
