I really enjoy Villalobos’s unique voice. It is bizarre, surreal, pitch-black humor, that sheds light (but no solutions of course) on the Kafkaesque troubles that serve as the modern Mexican society. It definitely helps to know Mexican history, especially the second half of the 20th century.

A humorous book though I think there was a lot lost in translation.

Super gracioso y un comentario de la sociedad política que siempre le atina. Bien mexicana la historia, y varias partes q no entendí por completo ya q soy de otra generación; pero aun pude captar las intenciones. Y el final lo encontré perfecto. Lo lei para hacer un estudio de la traducción al ingles y esa la encontré muy buena.
