The Transmigration of Bodies by Yuri Herrera

3.0

---

This is quite different than the other Herrera novel, [books: Signs Preceding the End of the World], that I read a few years ago. I remember really liking the atmosphere of that story, which is definitely continued here, but subject-wise they are vastly different. This one is more of a classic noir, containing all the tropes that come with that, both good and bad. For only a 100-page novel, it has quite a few explicit sex scenes that seemed to take up a good portion of the story; tbh I could've done without some of that excess. Overall it did feel a bit more like an experiment in style or genre than in a very substantive novel.
