I choose to say that this is less of a short STORY but more of a brief DOCUMENTATION. This is due to the fact that the piece is documented in a rare, brilliant literary form that disregards the popular no-plot-no-story concept. In other words, when asked what the plot of the story is, I, for one, cannot state what it is, but the structure of its static advancement is well-planned. The eponym, Tango is he whom we are made to meet. His ideology is the story. Who he is and what in which he believes are what are focal; not, to use our critical telescopes here, what he does, as a CHRONOLOGICAL activity. Beautifully, furthermore, the piece has a stretch of quotable sentiments. I have always made it clear that literature must be quotable, or else it ceases to be literature (this co-incidentally has a relevance to the subject matter of the piece). Sadly, the writer creates an unprecedented impasse between his words and his reader(s). Some say that literature - not only poetry, but all genres - inexplicably grows a rose in its use of short expressions. Writers should, for that, then choose to reduce their sentences to minor clauses; say, "And just imagine, can you; characters! People love that; characters" Sentences are then left to the reader(s) to firstly break into crumbs, then rebuild, before they can decipher their thrusts (what should be done subconsciously). It kills the mood. This problem, I must put clarity to, is a personal one. I do not agree with the style; not in general literature but in "literary literature". In all, the piece is a great one. And I should, before bringing this to an end, state that Tango is a great "man" - as I cannot call him a great "character". Being that I believe he is not fictional but real, the writer of the story owes me lunch with him, the eponym. Cheers.
