This was colourful and a bit weird and full of life and even fuller of appreciation for it. I enjoyed reading it, even though bits probably went over my head (that’s something I anticipate with magical realism tho, especially when it’s embedded so deeply into a culture that’s not mine). This wasn’t really a novel nor a short story collection, but the author really managed to combine both into something of its own, with its own rules and flow. By the second half it gets a bit repetitive thematically, but there’s still a lot to love. Definitely interesting and worth the read.
