When accosted by readers of his column complaining of the incomprehensibility of 'Las desventuras del Latin Lover', the narrator explains that this particular column was printed with nearly two pages, or close to a thousand words, omitted and it was no wonder it was incomprehensible. He writes: 'así se trate del Times, del Washington Post, del Newsweek, o de la revista Vistazo de Sydney' (86). [This is how it works in Time, The Washington Post, Newsweek or the magazine Vistazo of Sydney. - Translation.]
