Excelente obra contemporánea. Me identifica muy fácil muchas de las conversaciones que el narrador tiene consigo mismo. Sobre sus regresiones e incluso algunas negaciones de sus sentimientos y situaciones vividas. Al principio no estaba segura de que me gustaría pero en realidad me fue capturando esta pieza literaria que cuenta tanto del corazón de un hombre ordinario que a la final somos todos en nuestro paso por la tierra.

3.5: funny but a bit dull for me. Although I must say, the language, character, and circumstances almost require a certain dullness so I do think it was fitting.
