Llevo decadas sin leer algo de Lovecraft.
Este cuento me recordo la belleza de su prosa, de una profundidad digno de un genio talentoso.

La trama es en gran medida onirica, con ciertos sabores realistas, una trama muy sensorial, que invita al lector a sumergirse dentro de un mundo entre fantastico y la nostalgia de los recuerdos vividos. La historia gira entre una ambientacion calida/dulce y la espectativa de cumplir la mision de recuperar aquello que esta perdido.

Esto va mas alla de una historia de ficcion. Siento que Lovecraft aborda la monotonia de una vida cotidiana, y lo que ocurre cuando una persona adulta se aburre de su presente, y comienza a cuestionarse que hay mas alla de todo lo que esta a su alrededor. Esa busqueda de reencontrar el sentido a la vida, encontrar una zona de confort que sea grata en toda su extension.
Esto parece un ensayo de lo que es una crisis existencial! :)

Me encanto!

You just don't get it. Randolph Carter's just a little different, you know? He's unique. Sorta quirky, you could say. An individual. I guess he's just special.

Short and sweet. It is a bit predictable in its ending, but the ambiguity was really enjoyable. I do find the rambling about how different Carter is to be a bit distracting, its half of the story, but it does make sense with how the story was ended.
