It´s
very clear what Fernando Vallejo wants to mean by that. But if we
were a bit fusspot, which is not the intention of this blog, we could
say that what really falls down is a meteorite, not a meteor. The
meteor would be a shooting star and this is the sense of the
expression ´meteoric career´, from my humble opinion.
But
they are really complex concepts to deal with, as it was already said
because of Juan Benet.
