THE MAD TOY

by Roberto Arlt

Foreword by Colm Toibin

Translated by James Womack

"What I want is to be admired by others, praised by others. To be forgotten when you die, that's horrible. Oh if my inventions could only have some success! But I will die one day, and the trains will keep on running, and people will go to the theatre like they always did, and I'll be dead, good and dead... dead for life."
