Has anyone read his stuff?

I remember having to read this for a literature class when I was 17 or so. Back when I knew almost nothing about existentialism or any of the other deeply complicated issues he wrote about. I do distinctly remember falling love with Abel Sanchez because of the drama and this idea of betrayal.

Him and Jorge Luis Borges occupy the same space in my brain. It's a very muddled, confused space, to say the least.
