book review

long time ago i used to read a lot of novels for pleasure, it was a deeply -rooted habit from childhood , but from the start of the college, my freetime has lesseaned, and now the most kind of books i read, are about architecture.
however, i keep in mind many novels that make a change in my reading apreciation. actually some books still are referents in my architecture design work.
One of them is "el picadero", from a chilean writer Adolfo Couve´s work, this novel was the first i read about him, and was really moving because the descriptive way of narration is brilliant, ( he was also a painter) so, his way to show the narrative world is very graphic, and seems to make layers that shape an history, actually , the hystory is not the most important part of the novel, but the way he talk about all this melancholic lanscapes ( characters , places, ages,) and how he link them , make his work a master piece of intensity.
