A review by baguettekelly
The Night by Rodrigo Blanco Calderón

challenging dark

I don’t feel like I can give this a star rating as I found a lot of it dense and inscrutable, but I also don’t speak Spanish and didn’t know anything about Darío Lancini before picking it up.  The interweaving of superficially unrelated stories is very impressive, and I was certainly interested the whole time, but without context it never really came together for me.  I think this book perhaps does not lend itself well to translation.
