2.5/5

Algunas historias me gustaron pues era intrigantes y cautivadoras, pero en general esperaba algo diferente.

Poets write very interesting books, in my experience. This collection of short stories has the style of a writer who is used to breaking sentences up and using their bones to build things besides straightforward stories. Very interesting and atmospheric but it may not be for readers who are not in the mood for something experimental.

The only part of the book I could follow was the last chapter, written from the point of view of the dog. The rest of the book left me utterly confused.

....I don't think I could tell you a single thing about this book if you asked. I'm very confused.

No me encantó, pero creo que es de esos libros que tampoco puedo decir que son malos.
La narración a veces es un poco compleja en el sentido en que no la comprendía, me perdía, pero sí se nota una narración fuerte, atrevida.
Me gustó mucho conocer a través de sus historias aspectos de Cuba que aunque los hubiera imaginado no los habría sentido tan reales, no sé cómo explicarlo exactamente, es una sensación como estarte asomandome a una cultura y estilo de vida muy distintos a los míos, pero al mismo tiempo con temas en común.
