Now that some time has passed since you discovered Cusco, why do you think Arguedas preferred to talk about the city in those terms? The celebration of Corpus Christi is anything but depressive, it is an explosion of color, light and music. How is this image at the beginning related to what happens later in the novel?
I really appreciate your perspective, and absolutely understand what you mean! Had it not been for Deep Rivers, I don't know if I would have found or understood the significance of the stones and the different ways they are placed/shaped in the same way. I truly do believe that Argueda's narration, through Ernesto, brings the significance of the stones to life.
