És una llàstima que en anglès siguin les "ages" i no les "eras" perquè el potencial per fer-ne bromes seria infinit

All rise up for the official anthem of Marxist academics

The thing about David Foster Wallace is that none of us will ever be as good as him. Not me, not you, not the angry guy who thinks it's cool to hate him. No one.

D'acord, he d'admetre que no m'esperava veure una ressenya de Núvol en un llibre editat en anglès (per molt que sigui català).
