A review by pearloz
The Wind That Lays Waste by Selva Almada

4.0

Provocative novel of a chance encounter between a man of God and a mechanic. With the storm on the horizon, every interaction between these two main characters felt almost biblical, particularly as they began to discuss the fate of the mechanic's boy assistant, Tapioca, a battle of wits that turned in a physical fight. A real concise gut-punch of a novel.
