Ese final no me parece. Me la pasé riéndome con este cuento y nisiquiera era tanto de risa yo creo 😭. Muy muy bueno. Me gusta como los diálogos están escrito en es de dichos. 

Good short story. I am not a huge fan of short stories because I really like more detail. I did not feel like I really understood the characters, but it was a good quick read.

A short story I really enjoyed, enjoyed the beautifully imagined setting, interesting set of characters, the creepy element of the story, that combines a drastic childhood with a one of a kind love story between Oilette and Royal, but the ending was not understandable. I think I can understand that this story revolves around the whole idea of what love could force us to do, but this was too much.

I read this one twice - back to back. Capote weaves a love story with some humor and magic. I really loved this one.

Great writing by Capote but the story didn't grab me. Just OK.

¡Qué buen relato!
