Mord ist schon schrecklich genug, wenn er von Erwachsenen begangen wird, doch das Konzept erreicht eine völlig neue Ebene erschütternder Morbidität, wenn sich herausstellt, dass der Mörder ein junger Junge oder ein junges Mädchen ist.

A lo largo de toda una vida de relatos y ensayos, Borges reunió un pequeño conjunto de ideas obstinadas que se negaban a comportarse como literatura. Que un todo puede ser finito y, sin embargo, carecer de límites. Que una cosa puede desempeñar un papel sin poseer una existencia separada.
