The Shape of the Ruins by Juan Gabriel Vásquez

3.0

This book was deep, layered, well-written, and contained some really beautiful insights about life and humanity and society. That being said, this book took me quite a while to finish and it felt, at times, like I was chewing a piece of meat for an inordinate number of chews. In the end, I’m not sure I totally felt the overall point deserved so much book. But I can appreciate the overall point the author was making and can still feel glad I plowed through this book.
