  "account": "The column 'Palos de ciego' was inspired by a quote from William Faulkner, who compared literature to a lit match in a dark field. The author aims to provide decent prose, entertain readers, and offer some company. The column's goal is modest, hoping to occasionally shed a little light on the surrounding darkness. This article is part of El País Semanal's 50th anniversary special edition, published on Sunday, October 25.",
  "summary": "I've been writing this column in ‘El País Semanal’ for almost 25 years. It's a privilege. It is because it is a privilege to write a column, but also because this is a place of privilege.",
