SuitabookDesde el ojo del pez
Pablo de Santis
- Reading
- Invite the reader to notice how Max’s view changes as he moves from watching the city to engaging with it; use those shifts to explore the difference between expectation and experience.
- Themes
- Growing into adulthood: Max arrives in Buenos Aires intending to study, but also seeking Teresa; he later looks for work and encounters a reality unlike his dream. The novel is framed as a view of the transition towards adulthood, away from idealism, and as a story of youthful loneliness.
- Worth knowing
- Max travels partly because he is in love with Teresa, bringing a romantic relationship into the story.
