I definitely prefer Twilight Zone but Fernández is such a stand out writer, I do need to more about the endings and the characters being in the acknowledgments and the dedication also confused me Ngl! But I love the atmosphere Fernández is able to create

Precioso. El uso de narrador de primera persona plural lo hace tremendamente convocante, y el movimiento entre cartas, sueños y memorias, referencias políticas y contextuales está trabajado de tal forma que se siente orgánico y deja siempre espacio para lo no dicho, la ambigüedad y las pistas que llevan a ningún lugar. Engañador, en el sentido que al ser corto hace creer que se leerá rápido, pero para mí, es un libro que requiere trabajo, sea que se sepa sobre historia chilena o no.
