• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

obsessed.... a piece where surrealism and realism meet and nothing could've prepared me for how i'd feel these last 5 days. A real life, with very real problems but with a touch of insanity, cockroach successfully represents the normal life of an immigrant going through "l3orba" and a very dark past. I cannot describe how much I enjoyed this book.
