Nosotros en la noche
by Kent HarufNosotros en la noche es una joya escondida: una historia concisa, conmovedora, agridulce pero a la vez inspiradora, con el revelador sentido del humor que solo poseen aquellos que han llegado a una edad en la que poco importa lo que puedan decir los demás. Louis Waters y Addie Moore llevan gran parte de su vida siendo vecinos en la apacible localidad de Holt, en Colorado. Ambos enviudaron hace años y acaban de franquear las puertas de la vejez, por lo que no han tenido más opción que acostumbrarse a estar solos, sobre todo en las horas más difíciles, después del anochecer. Pero Addie no está dispuesta a conformarse. De la forma más natural, decide hacer una inesperada visita a su vecino: «Me preguntaba si vendrías a pasar las noches conmigo. Y hablar...». Ante tan sorprendente propuesta, Louis no puede hacer otra cosa que acceder. Al principio se sienten extraños, pero noche tras noche van conociéndose de nuevo: hablan de su juventud y sus matrimonios, de sus esperanzas pasadas y sus miedos presentes, de sus logros y errores. La intimidad entre ambos va creciendo y, a pesar de las habladurías de los vecinos y la incomprensión de sus propios hijos, vislumbran la posibilidad real de pasar juntos el resto de sus días.
