Hace años mi ex me prestó este libro. Supongo que me conocía bien y sabía que me gustaría. Lo tuve esperando en mi librero demasiado tiempo. No planeo devolvérselo. Sorry y gracias, dude. La vida de Les, topógrafo escribidor de poesía, se narra desde tres ángulos, de manera fragmentada, ligera, pero sumamente bella.

I very much enjoyed this slim novel. The emotional intensity of the book took my breath away at times. It is not a happy book but it isn't depressing either. It is a book that makes you think about friendship and consequences.

The writing was really nice, and you could tell it was written by a poet. The insights and some of the imagery were spot on. The story wasn't super great, but I'm not really into the sparse modern prose thing when telling a story. If I had more time, I'd definitely read it again, but slower and much more deliberately.
