Index Card: Cuaderno muy importante. Entre mi periodo de amores con Carmen Orrego Montes, mi regreso de Europa lleno de cosas, el sentirme firme en un trabajo, y la dedicación de escribir un volumen de cuentos y publicarlos antes de cumplir 31 años. Los publico en Setiembre de este año “VERANEO y otros cuentos”. Quizás la época mas decisiva de mi vida. Terminé con Carmen Orrego en el verano (Marzo) del año siguiente. Idea del hombre y los bastones, aún no asimilada para CORONACION.
