A review by soavezefiretto
Como la sombra que se va by Antonio Muñoz Molina

4.0

Is it riveting? No. Does the narrative have an easy to follow structure? No. Is the protagonist easy to identify with? A world of no. What makes this book, like many of Muñoz Molina's books, are the moods, the textures. It's boring for stretches because he's describing a boring mind being bored, but the way he does it is quite masterful. And the parts about him as a young man writing the novel that would bring him success while quite callously ignoring his wife and children is so poignant, but never self-indulgent. I can't help myself, I love this writer and everything he writes. I'm not objective. Deal with it.
