    Their parameters must have changed considerably since
    then, judging from the story Tim recommended recently
    with much enthusiasm. Honestly, Wes Amerigo's eldest
    son's comic timing was to be commended, but in my
    opinion the rest of the story was unsufferably unbelievable
    and self-indulgent.

    But then again, perhaps I just didn't get it. Was it a parable
    of America's inherent good qualities, a tale whose meaning
    and immediate effect is denied to non-Americans? Or was
    it an attempt to echo the 'realismo mágico', which we South
    Americans avoid like the plague?
