Plagio

«Fue as? como me hice escritor, copiando con humildad y reescribiendo con soberbia las cosas que admiraba.

El lunes anunciaron que se hab?a ganado un premio literario.
El martes lo acusaron de haberse plagiado unos art?culos period?sticos.
El jueves lo acusaron de haberse plagiado tambi?n el tema de la novela premiada.

El lunes siguiente setenta y nueve escritores firmaron una carta exigiendo que devolviera el premio y que renunciara a su puesto en la universidad, un peque?o imperio.
El mi?rcoles renunci? al premio y al puesto. El mismo mi?rcoles supo que su mujer ten?a tratos con el instigador de la campa?a en su contra.

El lunes de la siguiente semana le llevaron la grabaci?n de una llamada entre su mujer y su rival.
El jueves su rival amaneci? acuchillado.
El viernes lo visit? la polic?a. Todo esto requiere una explicaci?n. La explicaci?n es esta novela: un juego de espejos sobre el plagio, la admiraci?n, la envidia, los celos, el azar, la muerte.

Y la polic?a
