I will admit there were some paragraphs I had to skip because I couldn’t mentally handle them.
An incredibly brutal character study about suffering, trauma, and desires of some very very troubled young adults.
Check TWs.

I think Ojeda and the translator, Sarah Booker are both really talented at the craft, but I really wonder about what the point of bringing this stuff into the world is.
I truly don’t see the value in dredging up this deeply disgusting stuff with no redemption. I feel sick from reading it.

Nefando en mi opinión es una manera de explorar el trauma de estos tres hermanos. Es el equivalente tétrico y asqueroso de escribir un memoir. Ellos crearon el juego para ellos mismos y decidieron que era lo suficientemente grotesco e importante para dejar que más gente viera lo que pasaron.
¿Es exponer a gente del internet a pornografia infantil la manera más sana de superar el trauma? Not really, pero al mismo tiempo me parece un movimiento de poder. La creación del juego fue su manera de tragarse a su padre, su forma de quitarle su autoridad.
La única razón por la que no le doy 5 estrellas es porque siento que los personajes deberían tener más historia y voz si son ellos los que cuentan la historia. En caso por ejemplo de Ivan que sabíamos que estaba sufriendo de disforia de genero y aún así no se exploró o aportó nada a la historia en general.
En fin, sé que Nefando se publicó antes que Mandíbula y creo que al comparar ambas novelas se puede observar un gran avance y crecimiento en la voz de Ojeda.
Can’t wait to read La Historia de La Leche :)
