El Aleph
Reviews

** spoiler alert ** STUNNING! Gets better every time I read it. "The universe may change but not me, I thought with a certain sad vanity." "The voyage I set down is... autour de ma chambre." "After the age of fifty, all change becomes a hateful symbol of the passing of time." "I saw all the mirrors on earth and none of them reflected me" "I saw a woman in Inverness whom I shall never forget; I saw her tangled hair, her tall figure, I saw the cancer in her breast" "I saw the Aleph from every point and angle, and in the Aleph I saw the earth and in the earth the Aleph and in the Aleph the earth; I saw my own face and my own bowels; I saw your face" "every one of the faces seemed familiar to me. I was afraid that not a single thing on earth would ever again surprise me" "I myself am distorting and losing, under the wearing away of the years, the face of Beatriz."
