"IN WRITING THIS STORY, i AM FULFILLING A PROMISE TO MY POOR friend Fulano.
"My friend Fulano was the least important of men and this was the great tragedy of his life. Fulano had come to this world with the undaunted purpose of being famous and he had failed completely, developing into the most obscure person. He had tried all possible plans of acquiring importance, popularity, public acknowledgment, etc., and the world with a grim determination persistently refused to acknowledge even his existence.
"It seems that about Fulano's personality, if we are to grant him a personality, hung a cloud of inattention which withstood his almost heroic assaults to break through it.
"Fulano made the utmost efforts to be noticed, and people constantly missed him.
"I have seen Fulano shake hands during an introduction in a vehement way, stare violently and shake his face close to the other person's, literally yelling:
"Tanto gusto en conocerle."
And the next moment, the other individual was talking to somebody else, completely oblivious of Fulano.
"I have seen Fulano at another introduction remain seated and extend two fingers in he most supercilious manner. Nothing! All in vain. A second after the other person had absolutely forgotten his existence and was blankly looking through him."
From Locos (a comedy of gestures).
Any one heard of him? Any thoughts?
