A book written by someone that thinks they’re smarter than they are. Interesting topics and had so much potential, but really missed the mark.

I loved this. Literature and life and a dizzying kaleidoscope of cultural clashes and mishmashes. And many beautifully quirky lines. Halfon is a Jewish-born Guatemalan grandson of a Polish Holocaust survivor and writes about himself fictionally or metafictionally, occasionally holding the seams up for us to see.
