"Gary, my precious little bitch." Stebbins & Barkovitch
"Then why are you doing it?" Garraty asked him. "If you know that much, and if you're that sure, why are you doing it?"
"The same reason we're all doing it," Stebbins said. He smiled gently, almost lovingly. His lips were a little sun-parched; otherwise, his face was still unlined and seemingly invincible. "We want to die, that's why we're doing it. Why else, Garraty? Why else?"
La larga marcha / The Long Walk (1979) by Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman. Traducción al español por Hernán Sabaté. Penguin Random House. *** Segunda parte de lo que considero la tesis de esta novela, enunciada por Stebbins. Es tan clave esta escena a tres. Es maravillosa. No puedo quitarme de la cabeza la idea de que la verdadera inspiración detrás de "La larga marcha" es la guerra de Vietnam. Interesante cómo el traductor pasó de detallar esa "sonrisa" de Stebbins, que en el original era: "He smiled gently, almost lovingly." LOVINGLY.
