A review by barefootmegz
Meaty Pleasures by Mónica Lavín
2.0
I expected this collection to be absurd, but in a good way. Instead, it was just odd.
Maybe two of the twelve short stories are marginally erotic. Mostly, they seem tame and stagnant. Two are more horror than any other genre. Here and there I found some beautifully crafted one-liners. I understand that some of the beauty of a work might go missing during translation, but I am not sure if the problem her is translation, or just that this is an odd work that, disappointingly, did not resonate with me.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
