Ispanskii s Roberto Arltom. Zlaya igryshka

The novel vividly captures the hardships of marginalized youth. I'm curious what personal or societal influences shaped this intense portrayal.

His actions seem driven by deep frustration, but I wonder if readers see it more as defiance or a cry for help.

The Buenos Aires backdrop feels almost like a character itself. Do you think Arlt intentionally used the city to mirror the protagonist's inner turmoil?
