I think Ojeda and the translator, Sarah Booker are both really talented at the craft, but I really wonder about what the point of bringing this stuff into the world is.
I truly don’t see the value in dredging up this deeply disgusting stuff with no redemption. I feel sick from reading it.

1.0
Las historias que se entrecruzan a lo largo de la novela nunca llegan a nada, nunca culminan ni se complementan, simplemente asistimos a una seguidilla interminable de violaciones, agresiones y abusos sexuales, escenas super detalladas de pedofilia, abuso intrafamiliar, automutilaciones, fantasías sexuales repugnantes. Y lo peor es que no sirven para nada, no generan ningún sentido de totalidad al terminar la novela, ni siquiera es como "El niño proletario" de Osvaldo Lamborghini: un cuento horroroso que sí tiene un propósito, una eficacia, una razón de ser.
Si hubiera sabido lo innecesariamente explícito que es el libro nunca lo hubiera escogido y si no fuera para el club de lectura definitivamente lo hubiera dejado sin terminar.
