Trajiste contigo el viento
by Natalia García Freire
Do I think I got everything there is to get in this book? No, most definitely not. In order to actually finish the book, I couldn't pause at every unfamiliar word, though the book's relatively grounded language, almost musical repetition/echoing of words, and mythologicalization of relatively simplistic vocabulary definitely contributed to a more or less accessible reading experience - not that that is by any means the main point, however.
I think there is to be studied and appreciated in this book, from ideas of normalcy/insanity, the human/animal (or: nature) dichotomy, and themes including religion, myth, space, etc. The language is original but simplistic. At times, I questioned whether the narrative style was unnecessarily complex, especially with regards to the shifting addressees. However, I'm more than willing to permit that there may be a layer that I am simply missing due to my limited understanding of Spanish that would give further context to the application of that narrative technique.
