Octavio's Journey by Miguel Bonnefoy
3.0
Trigger warnings: Violence, probably some other stuff but I read this like a week ago and it was under a hundred pages, so...........
This book is very reminiscent for me of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It's set in Venezuela and involves peculiar characters and magical realism. So.
Really, I don't have a HUGE amount to say about this. It's only 90-something pages, so there's not a lot of time for character development or story development or anything like that. The first half was definitely more interesting to me than the second, and the ending was downright weird. But I'm glad I read it - it definitely gave me a lot to think about.
