Ich kannte mich noch immer nicht besonders gut aus in Wien, als ich mich an einem Donnerstagmorgen im März 1964 auf den Weg zur Arbeit machte. Erst drei Wochen davor war ich aus Bad Ischl in die Bundeshauptstadt übersiedelt, weil mir im Hotel Intercontinental ein Job als Einkaufsleiter angeboten worden war. Zum Glück wies mir die eindrucksvolle Klotzigkeit des neu erbauten Nobelhotels schon aus mehreren Kilometern Entfernung bestechend sicher den Weg.

"Je n'ai jamais imaginé que l'acte d'écrire pût s'accomplir à l'extérieur. Et ce fut le penchant que j'avais pour le repli qui me mit dans la voie de l'écriture. Sortir de soi, de chez soi, signifie se perdre. Écrire, à mes yeux, est un acte intime. Nul geste ne me rapproche davantage de moi-même. De ce à quoi je tiens le plus. Rien ne me fait me sentir moins seule, absente, écartée de tout : pas même l'acte d'aimer." (Silvia Baron Supervielle)

Duas deliciosas narrativas de Machados de Assis estão aqui reunidas. No conto "Um incêndio", o leitor encontra a história de B..., transmitida por Abel. B..., oficial da marinha inglesa que convalescia num hospital do Rio. Já em "Um dístico" o protagonista oscila entre atividades muito diferentes: porteiro de teatro, à noite, e irmão das almas, de dia; isto é, um vaivém do mundano ao sagrado.

"História comum" é um conto singular: que dizer de um enredo que tem por protagonista... um alfinete?! Ele cai no chapéu de um transeunte e narra sua história. Já o conto "Orai por ele" anuncia, em seu subtítulo, o que é de fato: "fragmento de narrativa". Os personagens Pedro e Paulo, volta do enterro do comendador, criticam seus hábitos. Ironia e humor característicos de Machado de Assis marcam aí sua presença.
