No se que me pasó con este libro, creo que simplemente no era para mi. Logre conectar con la historia pero no entendí bien lo que estaba pasando, a lo mejor es porque no he leído todos los libros que están situados en este mismo universo literario.

Me gustó que vaya cambiando los puntos de vista con la familia principal, aunque me gustaría saber el punto de vista del doctor. Aunque es común que Gabo deje sus historias con detalles sin responder y a libre interpretación, sería interesante saber qué pasaba por su mente al hacer todo lo que hacía hasta el momento de su muerte.

The novella that dominates this collection lacks a certain cathartic element desperately needed to rectify the conflict presented. Multiple narrators complicate the tale, making this work strangely unfamiliar in Marquez's typical terrain. Yet the short stories, namely "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World," fill the reader with the mysterious sense of what it is to be human.

This is the book that brings us Macondo for the first time (for the ones that are not familiar is where 100 years of solitude takes place). It was not one of my favorites by Garcia Marquez, however is still a good read (specially if you love 100 years of solitude). This is also, from the ones that I read, the only that has three different narrators, which ends up being really interesting.
