I loved Ojeda’s book Jawbone, which was also really disturbing and dark. But this one… this one was so nasty it made me feel physically ill to read. 
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.
