Shadows

This book has some of the most memorable images out of any book I've read. Just beautiful. I read it in two sitings. If nothing else, this book will change the way you look at telephone lines. It brings myth to the modern world.

This is a story about a computer programmer traveling in post-war rural Argentina after his bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere. He, being an interesting character himself interacts with many interesting (sometimes weird) people including a rich man looking for an unexisting casino, a fortuneteller, crooked and dangerous priests and an army official who is looking for his lost army thinking they are still at war. It is a captivating story, descriptive and very well written including elements of black humor. It is one of those books that you can read over and over again.Recommended to everyone.
