The tyrant was killed in
1961 and with him died the persecution of my family. Free, my
Grandparents bought an old Victorian house in the center of an
enormous garden. I was twelve. For the next two years, which
at that age are very long, I lived in that garden. It became
the accomplice of all my plots and dreams. It became a refuge,
a friend hard to forget. T
here I learned how
green is shaded by red. How, without direct light,
yellows become brown. How purple unveils its reds and
blues in a transparency. And black does not exist. I
learned that small things can make a big context and
vice versa. I learned that the character of man is as
complex as Nature.
Tired of the constant political corruption in his
country of origin, Aurelio Grisanty lives in Washington
DC.
