Esta piola pero bien raro, para leer más de una vez.

Bueno, ya lo dejé macerar por unos días.
Me gustó, pero me es imposible ignorar los groseros fallos en la trama. La ciencia ficción del final de dónde salió? No era medio policial?
Luego de la primera mitad me dejó con sabor a poco. Faltó profundidad sobre las temáticas. Y el paciente con amnesia dejó de ser relevante. Muy incoherente todo.

This is a psychological thriller and a good one.
It is written in Spanish, and takes place in Argentina.
A short, exciting book.

La novela va de menos a más. En ese sentido es distinta a otras del autor que son más parejas.

Al final tiene algo de Ubik.

Update: volví a leer la novela tres años después. Ahora diría que me interesa más la primera parte que la segunda (estrictamente la novela está dividida en tres partes, lo que llamo la segunda parte son las partes dos y tres).

Algunos citas:

"El olvido era menos un borrado que una sobreescritura".

"Los detalles son los alfileres con los que los recuerdos se prenden en nuestra memoria".

"Todo lo referido a la memoria es un entramado de ilusiones que necesitan una permanente confirmación de la realidad".

"El olvido es una reescritura, y la memoria un palimpsesto".
