Plot:SPLEEN tells the story of a young man who becomes convinced that he is ill, without specifying what kind of illness it is, and who gradually suffers because of this belief. The narrative unfolds through events that actually happen and others that take place in the protagonist’s mind, without providing details about what is real and what is imaginary. At a certain point in the story, the protagonist is confronted with his true condition and has the opportunity to accept it and take control of his life. However, even though it seems he is about to face reality, the protagonist decides to retreat, questioning reality itself in favor of his illusory beliefs, even when the truth is clear and evident.
