“In the wide realm of the world there are ancient forms, incorruptible and eternal forms—any one of them might be the symbol I sought. A mountain might be the word of the god, or a river or the empire or the arrangement of the stars.

Esto lo leí hace rato, pero estoy haciendo un clean up en la app. El informe Brodie parte con los que fueron fácilmente mis cuentos favoritos, o que al menos dejaron una gran primera impresión. Historias de gauchos y generaciones muy parecidas a lo que conocí este año con Andrés Montero. Destaco El indigno, El encuentro y Rosendo Juarez, tremendo retelling de un cuento anterior.

El libro de arena: 5/5. Si.

Destaco: prácticamente todos.
