Ways of Going Home by Alejandro Zambra

3.0

I am ambivalent about this book. It is one of those that you can see is very well written but much of it also says very little. It is necessary to get a long way through the book before really stumbling on the narrative and its meaning. I think this is intentional Zambra isn't trying to drop you into the maw of Pinochet's chile rather he is taking you in ever decreasing circles into how the regime affects everyday life for those on the edges of accepted society.
