Rezension von Luis ALVObra tremendamente incómoda, El túnel nos lleva por las venas de un pintor solitario, harto y asqueado de la sociedad. En su infinito túnel que lo separa de todos los demás humanos, aparece una fisura cuando María Iribarne presta atención a una escena que nadie más atendió: una persona frente al océano, esperando, tal vez.<br/><br/>Su soledad parecía unirse a la de otra persona que comprendía lo que sentí, que comprendía el centro tan oscuro de su arte. Pero es justamente ese centro tan oscuro el que le demuestra que está sólo y que, si alguna vez pudo ver cercana a María Iribarne, él mismo buscó la forma de volver a estar sólo porque "la vida no tiene sentido".<br/><br/>Sabato dice que la gran literatura debe llevar al lector a los resquicios más profundos de su alma; a encontrar, mediante la lectura, aquellas cosas tan monstruosas de las que el alma humana es capaz, pero rehuye.
