A review by leelulah
Niebla by Miguel de Unamuno

4.0

As complicated as Unamuno can get, it is still as fascinating. Defying reality and fiction, and even including himself as the god before Augustus, as the one who can decide whether he lives or dies, as some sort of puppet master, he makes his character become conscious of superior intelligence watching over him, of his own fictionality.

And everything becomes senseless, vain, a blur, a mist of sorts for Augustus, who decides to end an equally frivolous life, but his suicide is never seen in an autonomous way, as he can feel the hand of Unamuno guiding his actions.

Thought provoking, to say the least.
