I understand what the book wants to do and I feel like it succeeds in doing it (= feeling like a fever dream and giving a magical realism twist to the problem of harmful pesticides in soy plantations in Argentina causing many health problems for the population) but I personally just really hate feeling confused and since this book left most things unexplained the main feeling I got from it is frustration, which is not what I’m looking for in reading :/

I read the English translation of this for the first time years ago and devoured it in one sitting. I decided to reread it in Spanish and I had the same experience of being completely captivated from start to finish. Chilling story masterfully told.

Perfect short psychological novel. Makes you think about what’s “really important”
