Book Description
Prison is my university where I lived oppression and death and saw some rare faces of man, learned a lot about his inner world and his varied lives, practiced introspection and meditation and read in different fields. I also decided to be a writer, following my father's school. He was a great Wiseman who perfected his tales and various scripts, stemming from his experiences or readings so that he would take over his listeners. I almost became the only listener in his last years; he was about 60 when he had me with a second wife. And the early disappearance of my mother created the intimate relationship that usually arises between grandfather and grandchild. We played dice and paper together and I shared the beer he loved and drank once a month. Then it was he who encouraged me to read, and I still remember the night he came home with a big tie of various used "pocket novels."[2]
