The War of Don Emmanuel’s Nether Parts
“As a military man he had never really known freedom anyway, bound up as he was with regulations and duties. To some extent he was oppressed by boredom, and the time hung heavily with him. He was cloistered in the same hut as Dona Constanza, but even though they had known each other before the events here related, they found that they had little in common, and were not affected by incarceration in the same way.
What tortured General Fuerte was that he no longer knew what to think. The guerriller...os generally seemed to like him, and they brought him fruit or nuts to eat, and would slap him on the back and say, ‘Don’t worry, Cabron!’ Fuerte also grew to like them, against his will. Father Garcia, particularly, became close to him, and they would pass long hours in earnest conversation, sometimes becoming heated and vehement. Fuerte became infected by Garcia’s glorious vision of the world-to-be. He listened to Garcia lyrically describing his prognostications of an Arcadia where there were no more countries and therefore no possibility of war.MoreLess
