Down the Rabbit Hole by Juan Pablo Villalobos

4.0

Written from the point of view of a child called Tochtli, this is not your usual novel with a child protagonist. Tochtli’s father is the leader of a powerful gang and he lives in a secluded mansion in excessive wealth fueled by drugs. Both darkly disturbing and unsettlingly funny, this is about a pampered but isolated child’s quest to be ‘macho’ and to own a Liberian pygmy hippopotamus.
