Reputations
by Juan Gabriel Vásquez
Maybe 3.5 stars.
Vásquez's writing is beautiful. Reputations is about a political cartoonist named Javier Mallarino and his legacy, it reflects on how he got to be so acclaimed and puts the idea of a person's reputation under a microscope.
My one complaint, which is a pretty large one, is that the storyline with Samanta Leal was glossed over. I wish it had been fleshed out or resolved a little more. However, it does make sense that Mallarino was more concerned with himself and his role in the incident.
