	Description:		Like the Argentine personality, I started off with hope but was left disappointed and cynical. 'On Heroes And Tombs' by Ernesto Sabato is a novel of tortured love, self loathing and madness. There are 4 main section that follow the interweaving timelines of Martín, Alejandra, Fernando & Bruno. It starts with a strict plotline that becomes looser with multiple narrators, a fictional yet semi-historical running commentary and seemingly random ramblings. I summarised the book as follows. "Overall this book spiraled downwards, much like the main characters themselves. What was an intriguing mystery of broken love became a mess of random interjections & irrelevant side stories. It has some merits but these are heavily outweighed the longer you spend time with it." I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
