The other day I dreamed that I was one of two hundred Spanish writers invited to this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair dedicated to Spain. But what started as a beautiful dream turned into a nightmare. Actually, a senior representative from the Ministry of Culture called me and gave me the good news. I was very happy, very happy when a senior representative from Public Works or Hunting Policies called me. I asked him when he had to be at the airport, if it was cold in Frankfurt or if they had given me an anorak and if Aramburu and Muñoz Molina were going too. He said yes to everything. Yes Yes Yes. And then, as he said goodbye, he added succinctly: “We’ll talk, Alberto.” I turned it off. Albert. How is Albert? I owned it myself. But I reacted and got scared so I boldly dialed the high representative’s number. I have a switchboard. I couldn’t explain myself, yes Frankfurt, yes Alberto, yes my job and yes I am the minister. I turned it off. The discomfort is back. In my dream, I started walking, crushed under my house. I was so distracted that I didn’t notice, and as I took a step, I stepped onto a street in my city, three kilometers from my living room. I called a friend: friends really know who you are. Hey man, what’s my name? Come on man, what’s wrong, I’m busy. I turned it off. You should see how many times I’ve posted this article. I put whatsapp in school group: hello, I’m Alberto. Nobody answered. I put another whatsapp, “what’s up guys.” Someone replied: hello Alberto. I felt a little bad, really. I’m a little confused. A little bit of Alberto. Damn, I don’t know who gave my name, it could have been Alberto. I was going to write that I had a cold sweat, but it was hot. I woke up later. In fact, I woke up to the ringing phone. It was a rare number. A little sleepwalking, I began to wonder if I would pick up the phone, whether I would be a high representative, if I really wanted to go to Frankfurt, if I would write a book. Is he still asleep or whether he’s already in reality. I removed It was an advertisement for a telephone company. “Good morning Albert.”
