A review by tensy
Brickmakers by Selva Almada

5.0

A tour de force novel of feuding families where the hatred is fueled by toxic masculinity and young men pay the price. The writing, by renowned Argentine writer, Selva Almada, spares no punches and in this short novel she manages to make us care about these two families living in a town "where everything is hard, dry, spiky, covered in dust...[and where] all anyone know is violence and force."
