Starting again into Crossing the Sierra Gredos. Never has he tried a woman as main character. She is a banker. Before a geologist, a pharmacist, now a banker. Outskirts of a river port, against previous life and modern life in general, sets out on quest---what else?---and has hired a famous writer (not a failed writer as in Moravian) to be her biographer. She wants him to write her authentic biography. She travels to meet him and passes through Five! stations, going across the Sierra and through La Mancha. Escape from voracious mass media and commercialization of all life, all lives. Yes, this time I have asked for help from the back cover text to get me re-started. It is a long book, bent upon what Paul West calls "subtle unostentatious delicacy." Oh, dear, here we go. Again.
