Initially it seemed like Turn-of-the-Screw-esque but what makes it worth trying is Borgesian looking themes like how two of the characters come to seem like different aspects (?) of same person as well as how reader's experience which is at first made identical with that of protagonist (narration is in the second person) until somewhere near the middle is at that point seggregated by a single turn of phrase leaving reader better informed even as he/she continues to seee things from point of view of protagonist.

Un relato fugaz, etéreo, que va sembrando pistas con un simbolismo casi hermético. Es un verdadero placer leer historias como ésta.

Nos lo mandaron a leer en 6º grado. Pude leerlo a los 10 años, luego a los 14, y más tarde a los 19.
Uno nunca se baña en el mismo río dos veces, ni lee el mismo libro dos veces.
