Where Hari goes on about stuff no one else gives a damn about!

I see myself as being on an exile. Not that I'm suffering or anything, but, purely in terms of being away from home and not being able to return when I wanted. So when I was reading about a book that I am reading now, I found this excerpt, which got lost in all the dross distractions that I cannot get out of my head these days when I am actually reading the book. Anyway, I never understand Bolano completely, and I can discern new shades of meaning every time I read this passage. Why is exile a natural movement? Why does he say abolish fate when most exiles simply postpone Fate.Why do skips and breaks recur when they should in fact be neverending. Curiouser and curiouser!

"Exile must be a terrible thing," said Norton sympathetically.
"Actually," said Amalfitano, "now I see it as a natural movement, something that, in its way, helps to abolish fate, or what is generally thought of as fate."

"But exile," said Pelletier," is full of inconveniences of skips and breaks that essentially keep recurring and interfere with anything you try to do that's important."

"That's just what I mean by abolishing fate," said Amalfitano.
