Olvida el nombre, esta historia no tiene ángeles en ella, solo un hombre que narra partes de su vida desde el otro lado.
Y como dice en el libro, "Todos somos iguales antes Dios, aunque seamos enfermos. Somos ángeles. Ángeles del universso"
Puedo decir que el libro me gustó un montón, la manera en la que está escrito, como poesía en todo.
Son como las memorias de alguien que no existió jamás, pero todo parece tan real, te hace creer la historia entera y eso es lo importante.
Fin e.e

I didn't really enjoy it. I didn't like the way it was written, the story was too confusing. I didn't really care for the characters. Honestly, just a no.

Final Thoughts
I think this is one of those books that nobody fully understands and anyone that says otherwise is just trying to sound impressive. It’s a descent into the mad world of Paul, who can both acknowledge that his decision making is flawed but also his world is what it is. The shadow of Klepp all his life and its inevitability for so many people is something that I just don’t have the energy to analyze at the moment. This is also a work that just might need to sit with a person for a while before they totally get it. Perhaps some thought will finish in a few months and I’ll have stronger feelings about Paul and his friends, I’m not sure.

"Deux heures sonnent.
Je ne sais toujours pas pourquoi je n'ai pas réussi à progresser d'un pas plus assuré le long de cette pente glissante qu'on appelle la vie, ni pourquoi certains la traversent par une grande-rue en ligne droite, tandis que d'autres errent sans fin par des ruelles obscures".

"Le calme infini au fond des yeux.
La tempête au coeur transi du calme plat.
Et le soleil tendait ses rayons jusqu'à mon coeur.
Et la flamme magique l'embrasa..."

En parlant de fous s'échappant de l'asile :
"Ils ne faisaient que courir éperdument, comme si la terre devait s'arrêter quelque part, ou au contraire nulle part ; ou alors peut-être se dirigaient-ils vers la sortie du monde pour pouvoir y entrer à nouveau ?"
