Ghosts by César Aira
2.75
Haunted slice of life with a woozy, pleasant appeal. I liked the sense of place, the camaraderie of both the family and the builders. I struggled to connect with the themes, however—maybe there’s some cultural significance I’m missing? The headier, more philosophical passages also dragged for me and seemed like essays awkwardly shoehorned into a novella.
Also, unrelated to the story itself, but yikes there’s a lot of typos in this thing.
