"Being in Cusco myself while reading this chapter, I have been able to make a depth of connections, especially to the physical spaces being described(.)" It's curious because for me the space described in the novel doesn't remind me too much of the experience I had. There is a "nightness" that does not correspond to the luminosity of the city. I understand the importance of this transformation of spatiality in the novel and I can explain it better thanks to your blog.
Hey Caroline I really liked your interpretation about the Inca stones. When I was reading about the stones I was thinking about when I saw them and how I understood how Ernesto saw them as alive. But I think you interpretation is probably what Arguerdas was going for.
