A Book That Reflects The Lost Hope Of It's Characters | On Heroes And Tombs (Ernesto Sabato)

Like the Argentine personality, I started off with hope but was left disappointed and cynical.'On Heroes And Tombs' by Ernesto Sabato is a novel of tortured love, self loathing and madness. There are 4 main section that follow the interweaving timelines of Martín, Alejandra, Fernando & Bruno. It starts with a strict plotline that becomes looser with multiple narrators, a fictional yet semi-historical running commentary and seemingly random ramblings.I summarised the book as follows. "Overall this book spiraled downwards, much like the main characters themselves. What was an intriguing mystery of broken love became a mess of random interjections & irrelevant side stories. It has some merits but these are heavily outweighed the longer you spend time with it."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
