En una de las páginas de Mr Gwyn, l. a. última novela de Alessandro Baricco, se aludía a cierta obra titulada Tres veces al amanecer, atribuida a un apócrifo autor angloindio, Akash Narayan.

Dos desconocidos, un hombre y una mujer, se encuentran tres veces en el vestíbulo de un lodge, poco antes del amanecer. Cada encuentro es único, y primero, y último: aunque se trate de los mismos personajes, sus destinos se cruzan en tres momentos distintos de sus vidas. Son dos adultos, primero; luego, un anciano portero de noche y una adolescente; finalmente, un chico y una policía ya madura, según una lógica temporal que no es los angeles que se manifiesta en nuestra rígida realidad, sino que sólo resulta conceivable en l. a. privilegiada mecánica de los angeles ficción. Cada encuentro exigirá de ellos una elección cuyas repercusiones conformarán el resto de sus vidas. Estos tres relatos constituyen una novela posible que recrea el lector en su mente y que presenta algunos de los temas propios del autor: los angeles posibilidad (o imposibilidad) del cambio, l. a. arbitrariedad del destino humano o l. a. responsabilidad hacia el prójimo, siempre a los angeles luz difusa del amanecer, que sugiere y revela, descubre y perfila, colocando las cosas en su sitio en el momento de su aparición. «En el primero de los tres relatos se apunta al hecho de que nadie cambia nunca verdaderamente. Como uno es de niño, así permanecerá toda l. a. vida. Y, sin embargo, el deseo de cambiar es un impulso que nos acompaña. A veces nos gustaría empezar desde cero. Pero no se puede: ?cambiar las cartas es imposible, lo único que nos queda es cambiar l. a. mesa de juego?, sentencia un personaje» (Antonio Gnoli, los angeles Repubblica).
