Escuché a alguien en NPR recomendar este libro y me sonó chistoso el título en inglés, y decidí leerlo. La verdad no sabía de qué se trataba ni sabía que era una colección de cuentos cortos de horror. Pero de todas maneras me gustaron los cuentos y me gustó que se habló un poco de la historia complicada de Argentina en el siglo XX. Recomiendo solo leer un cuento por día si eres una persona fácilmente afectada por la melancolía.

“Of course, that‘s what happens. When we ignore ourselves for long enough, our bodies find a way to make us listen.”

“FUCK.”

“Release the shame you feel when resting. It does not belong to you.”

“Apple put this new screen time feature on the iPhone that‘s supposed to, I don‘t know, shame me into putting down the drug they won‘t stop peddling to me??”

A great book for those who want to understand how the forced incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII affected families in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up in Oregon, but of course never learned in school about the racist policies my state considered and/or implemented against Japanese Americans. Admittedly a little dry in parts, this meticulous family history is an important record of the harm caused by state sponsored racism. Please read!
