HAPPY #BOOKSPIN DAY to all who celebrate!
I'm not too sure how I feel about this draw tbh. The tagged is my BookSpin and The Book Eaters is my Double. I just don't know if I'm in the headspace for historical family drama even if there is a bit of fantasy mixed in.

Rest Is Silence | Augusto Monterroso

pick

NYRB comes through again 😸👍 I was not familiar with Monterroso before this and was pleasantly surprised by what I discovered. A hilarious compendium of works by and about the fictional writer Eduardo Torres, the bard of San Blas, Mexico. Poet, critic, essayist, and inveterate blowhard, Torres is a fully realized comic creation, a perfect send-up of provincial literary pomposity.

SconsinBookyBadger @PuddleJumper my brick & mortar library is quick on interloans, libby on the hand is slow pace even with available soon ebooks or audio 🐌 1mo

El se�or presidente | Miguel Angel Asturias

so-so

This was a challenging read. There was a plethora of characters falling in and out of the story and rarely was their end known. Also, there were hallucinations or delusions galore. This was a grim story about a grim time. Apparently, it was a story humanity felt the need to repeat.
