Goodreads asked Sergio Troncoso:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Sergio Troncoso At the moment it is Aristotle and Dante in Benjamin Saenz's Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. This couple is about friendship most of all, and how that friendship endures pain and discovery and finally self-realization for both men. I found the prose beautifully written and the characters engaging. The book brought me to El Paso, my hometown, and it brought me to my youth in Ysleta, the weird sense of not knowing who you are or who you want to be, or whether any of it matters at all. I lost myself in this novel and in Aristotle and Dante's relationship, and through their interactions and dialogue I felt I got to know them, and myself, and the many secrets we keep inside, sometimes for a lifetime.
