Super interesting and short lit fic. It was confusing in the best way and the kind of story I think is best read in one sitting (for the first read thru)

An unsettling dreamlike reflection of coming of age in the years and aftermath of the Pinochet regime. Time to read some Bolaño.

This is a very good book, but I had such huge expectations about it, and unfortunately it just didn't live up to them. I guess shame on me for expecting so much!

literally so good and super short so you can read it in one sitting! Her accounts of the Pinochet regime and political turmoil in Chile is riveting.
