Written in three acts, as if a play. It’s a lot different than I was anticipating for so long, a book about a Colombian political cartoonist. It wasn’t not about his career, but really a commentary on memories and perceptions vs. reality, and the potential one has on impacting others with very little thought or effort given. It took place over the course of just a few days, with plenty of flashbacks. Just alright for me.
