2/5
Not my cup of tea.
Good writing, but the story didn't work for me. I didn't gain an interest for any of the characters, and I'm sure the story won't stay with me.

Quite glad to be at the end of this one!

Set myself a challenge to read 10 books from my shelf per month. Three books to go, so it's not looking good...

A snapshot of humanity in all its wonder, insanity, banality, and grace, there is not an adjective that I could think of that would not apply to at least one character in this book. I have no desire to visit Macando, but I will miss it.

Another Christmas present, this book looks promising. Also published by NYRB Classics, who put out some really great works. Right up there with Dalkey, imo. Translated by Grossman, I had also recently purchased her translation of “Don Quixote,” which I plan on reading next year. 2025 is shaping up to be the year of the weighty tome, for which I am quite excited. #bookhaul #christmasbookhaul

I really wanted to like this book, especially because I have a pin on my jacket for it. But it was like when you wake up and try to remember your dream but it makes no sense but you write it all down anyway….yeah it was like that. Many thoughts that were jumbled together with just a few connections. I quit and didn‘t finish it. Book #107 in 2024

I've had this on my bookshelf for awhile. I missed a pub quiz question about it so I bumped it to the front and read it. What was I thinking? This book is a treat from start to finish. Exotic, magical, cryptic, and yet so raw and earthy about how we feel about each other. Through feast and famine, life and death, this story rampages forward like a child exploring a toy store. Unpredictable, with Bradbury-like attention to the artful details.
