Reading in the Name of Bobby by Julio Cortasa

Reading in the name of bobby by julio cortasa, translated from the spanish by gregory rabasa. The story appeared in the new yorker in July 19 79 and was included in the collection a change of light and other stories which was published by knop in 19 80. ben: In that first paragraph we get a sense that whatever is happening in b Bobby's dreams, or isn't happening in bobby's dreams, he lives a kind of restricted life for a child. There's mentionmae taking away his toys if he gets bad grades. It doesn't feel like a happy, go lucky environment to me.
