McSweeney's Issue 46: Thirteen Crime Stories from Latin America by Dave Eggers
3.0
I really don't know how to rate this. I'm between three and four. I value the experience of having read Latin American translated crime fiction, it's just that I don't think that this is a genre for me.
But some of the stories were so beautiful and sharp, and others were shockingly violent and hard to get through, despite most of the stories averaging about 20 pages. I aim to give a whole book of Latin American crime fiction a try soon to give it another shot.
The collection itself, is of course, beautiful to look at and well done all together. Another creative and wonderful issue from McSweeney's.
