Review: 2019.568 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: This is pretty much the story of how Pedro left Helena because he couldn’t put up with the angel and how he found a new life and a new, robotic, girlfriend.
Con: What is this story really about? Some elements make me think Pedro didn’t just leave—he died, possibly by throwing himself under the subway train. But, if so, I can’t see what the point of it all is.
