Básicamente un monólogo o "retahila de ideas sin orden" de 350 páginas. Con frases de más de una página y otros guiños a filólogos en ciernes (como usar la palabra consuetudinario un puñado de veces).
Y todo para contar una historia tristona que un buen narrador (Roald Dahl...) hubiera resuelto en 30 páginas.
A los gafapastas les encanta, benditos ellos.

The opening is really good but from there it just gets ridiculous. The characters motivations and actions don't make a whole lot of sense and that's not helped by the fact that Marias feels the need to so many words to get where he's going. I think his musings are supposed to be deep and profound but they just came across as annoyingly pretentious and quite simplistic to the point where I mostly skimmed through the 2nd half.

Reminded me a lot of The Unconsoled. Stream of consciousness, bad dream, unreliable narrator who is a prick. Some of it was interesting—particularly the commentary on language.

Çok sevmeme hatta meraktan çok hızlı okumama rağmen diğer kitapları kadar keyif almadım.
