The Day I Killed My Father (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I take it you didn’t like it … I can understand what you mean when you say it’s a disturbing book. I stopped writing it shortly before I killed my father, when I was swept up in the events that led me to commit patricide. What … ? That’s not true. I wasn’t emulating my characters when I eliminated my father … I’m sorry, but that kind of comment is uncalled for … No, I don’t want to hear it … What? What idiotic manual gave you the idea that using the word ‘eliminate’ is typical of those who premeditate murder in cold blood? I give you the most precious thing I have, and this is how you reward me. More than an attempt at writing literature, my unfinished book is a concrete representation of my interrupted life, and this is why it is of inestimable value to me. It’s confirmation that I’ve managed to become the protagonist of my own story. I decided to kill my father, I decided to stop writing my book, I decided … No, it’s not true that it might have been my only option.
