Jodorowski's fanciful retelling of his family's history mixes the lofty with the loam. Beautiful stories about lion tamers learning to read by ordering letters around like beasts sit next to blasé recountings of sexual abuse, incest, assault, and mass killings. There's value in stories about tarot cards that preach worker solidarity, provided you can tolerate Jodorowsky's instinct to build a nest feathered with mysticism, pubic hair, and trauma.

Me: "I should finish some of my long currently reading list before 2025, so I can start the new year with a clean slate."

Also me, in the airport having visited the Strand Bookstore in NYC: "Time to dive into the 900 page masterpiece we just bought! ?"

I was trying to control my desire to buy this book with money I don‘t have when I discovered joyfully I could get the ebook through the library. I devoured it do desperately and every single page was incredible. I‘m going to read every single thing of hers I can get my hand on forever.

Great way to teach children about a legendary poet

“Poetry is the voice of the people.”

This biography introduces children to the life of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, focusing on his passion for writing and his love for the people of his country.

I tried but I don‘t like Gonzalo, I don‘t like Carla and I don‘t like the humour. Some parts are funny others just feel forced and silly. Zambra can write, especially steamy scenes but this book or maybe even this author is just not for me.
