He earned a doctorate in physics from Universidad Nacional de La Plata and worked in Paris on atomic radiation at the Joliot-Curie Laboratory. He began writing in 1941 and was a prolific essayist on subjects such as science, national mostrar mais culture and human rights. He wrote several novels including The Tunnel (1948), On Heroes and Tombs (1961) and The Angel of Darkness (1974).

Problemi kryesor praktik i një shkrimtari argjentinas? Sigurimi i jetesës pa porostituar letërsinë. Do t'i këshilloja të rinjtë që asnjëherë të mos përpiqen të jetojnë prej saj, dhe aq më pak nga gazetaria, ku punohet dhe shkruhet jo për të shprehur botën tënde, por botën (zakonisht të korruptuar dhe të rreme) të drejtorit të një gazete.

For once, this is a well-known Latin-American book that doesn't get cited as a precursor of the "Boom". We're not in magic-realist territory here at all, or even in the realm of political history: this is a full-on existentialist novella in the Camus tradition, where we never leave the disturbing world of the inside of the protagonist's head.

Like Camus' most famous protagonist, the painter Castel is a convicted murderer reflecting on the circumstances of his crime. Falling in love with María, the one person with whom he has established real communication through one of his paintings, has broken through his radical alienation from society for a while, but then he starts to become obsessed with the idea that her love for him is not exclusive. Castel is not a sympathetic person, and it's not a very pleasant psychological journey we share with him, but Sábato doesn't give us much choice: we're compelled to stay with him to the end, even though we know where this is going. Powerful stuff, which has a lot of relevant things to say about the way we interact with the world even if we find the premise of the inevitability of jealousy-killing unpleasant and artificial.… (mais)

Terminé la saga que comencé por el final. Me ha encantado cada entrega y el universo que ha creado Montero.
