My Tender Matador: A Novel by Pedro Lemebel

4.5

---

This was so unbelievably beautiful. I can’t believe a book so short could hold so much complexity and development. The dialogue was unique and funny, the writing was unlike any other books I have read. Pinochet’s perspective was dry and humorous - I didn’t expect that at all - and the love within this book felt tangible. The characters’ flaws were never played down and yet were always loveable. The final few pages were so moving, and all I wanted to do upon finishing this book was read it again.
