"El tunel" es la mejor introduccion al universo prodigioso de Sabato; un clasico... una historia sobre el drama del hombre arrojado en el sinsentido mas doloroso: la conciencia de la nada
Juan Pablo Castel es un pintor recluido en prision por el asesinato de Maria Iribarne. Durante su encierro rememora la cadena de acontecimientos que lo llevaron a perder el control, a convertirse en un hombre poseido por una insalvable soledad, la de la ausencia de la mujer amada hasta el limite, la del engano que ha convertido su corazon en un pedazo duro y frio de hielo y ha colocado entre sus manos ...

"Responde a la perfección a la forma de darle vueltas a las cosas que tiene el autor de la mano de sus protagonistas. El protagonsita se plantea y replantes todos los comportamientos, comentarios, respuestas y gestos de su amada, en la búsqueda de una nefasta soledad llena de celos que le lleva por un tunel sin salida. Esta obra escrita años antes que "Sobre héroes y tumbas" está igual de bien, aunque la otra alcanza la categorái de magistral, sobretodo si piensas en la parte central de la misma, la dedicada a la paranoia invidente."
"Obsession, neurosis, compulsion, irrationality, unreliable narrators... all things I usually love, but for some reason I couldn't really get into it here. Maybe because the main character didn't seem real for me. It seemed a bit exaggerated. Or maybe because Thomas Bernhard does it better, with more humor, and about more trivial subject matters. It also kind of reminded me of Knut Hamsun's Hunger, but Hunger was funnier, more random, even more irrational, etc. Still, there were definitely some good parts, some funny spots, and some interesting insights."
"The narrator, Juan Pablo Castel, is a painter who tells us the story of how he came to murder his lover, Maria Iribarne, the only person who truly understood his work. It is a story of intense narcissism as psychologically claustrophobic as its title suggests. I'm very grateful to the friend who gave me the book, and I did learn a lot of Spanish by reading it, but throughout my reading I felt the same distaste for the narrator that I remember feeling for Merseult, the narrator of Camus's L'Étranger--a pitiless distaste that leads to more depression than catharsis. I'd rather read a Browning monologue."
"How well can you rely upon a narrator who admits to a murder in the first line? This novel is an interesting explanation about why a murder had to take place from the killer's perspective. I think it might be difficult to find an English version, but it's great stuff."
