Un buen giro de guion preparado a lo largo de un relato que se guarda su mejor as en la manga para sorprender tras una revelación un tanto predecible.

ES:

Ya había leído relatos de Poe antes pero este es nuevo para mí.
En este caso el autor nos presenta un pueblo pequeño, un asesinato y la investigación del mismo...porque el asesino no es quien todos pensamos.

Disfruté de esta historia en formato de radio dramatización.

EN:

A small town. A respectable wealthy member of the community ends up dead. A suspect. But everything is not as it seems.

Thou Art the Man is another quick read from Poe, perfect for passing a wee bit of time. Although this was probably the most predictable of the Poe stories I have read, it was enjoyable enough.

With Thou Art the Man, we have a story of murder. It’s not a murder mystery, though. Rather, it’s a case of showing someone getting their comeuppance. You know from early on what is going to happen, things are clear from the start, but it is enjoyable to watch the way everything comes together.

Un relato bastante simple. Se sabe quién es el asesino desde el comienzo, y tampoco hay mucho que destacar en cuanto al estilo narrativo. Un buen final, en parte macabro, que se podría decir compensa la simpleza del resto de la narración.
