    • 1997, Roberto Bolaño, “El Gusano”, in Llamadas telefónicas [Last Evenings on Earth]:
      Mi rutina consistía en ser levantado temprano, desayunar con mi madre, mi padre y mi hermana, fingir que iba al colegio y tomar un camión que me dejaba en el centro, donde dedicaba la primera parte de la mañana a los libros y a pasear y la segunda al cine y de una manera menos explícita al sexo.
