MEMORIE DELL'ETERNAUTA*
In the PERRAMUS tetralogy Juan Sasturain and Alberto Breccia pay homage to Hector Oesterheld and Jorge Luis Borges.
The first episode of PERRAMUS II reproduces the key sequence of the first episode of ETERNAUTA II.
The truco game. The blackout. The talk. "But this is worse, much worse...", put into Borges's mouth.
Perramus and Borges sit down at a table to play truco (parable of Argentine destiny) when the light suddenly goes out and the city disappears like so many who will never return.
According to the writer Osvaldo Soriano, this is a memorable scene.
