Walking toward the milonga in the late afternoon, I hadn’t noticed the lack of light in the buildings I passed. Long golden rays of sunset shot down the cross streets.

    OMG! How can one last word of a narration work so alchemically? This word is the quintessence of your uncanny ability to make the lotus bloom above murky waters. Those last jewels of paragraphs that bring magic into everyday observations. We enjoy the latter only to be utterly dazzled by the final considerations. Chapeau!

    Kevin: Lo leeré de nuevo por el disfrute que me da leer algo que es tan nuestro tan familiar .
    Describís la pasión , la visita de los extranjeros a ese lugar. A veces con tanta incomodidad que nos resulta inexplicable aún cuando te explican que aman a Marcela, Dani y tienen mucho lugar para bailar.
    Me encantó el relato . Una ” Gran Epiphany” con lujo de detalles y tu estilo de artista observador.
    “Sin desperdicio “, decimos aqui.
    También el humor, y el final abierto.
    Gracias.
