Tender Is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

3.25

pretty speedy read, language was brutal and succinct which made the tone so deliciously apathetic. plot itself is lacking though :/

what's up with spanel. she seemed so much more important than just introducing marcos' destructive nature.

i don't know, i have problems with characters in this coming and going and making no impact, but maybe marcos is so self-centered that it makes sense no one was of any importance

except for the women he could mine a child from, whatever. there's something to be said about marcos putting real value into only his father and his unborn male child, never extending to the women he could get fulfillment from (cecelia and jasmine) it was good as a character study, but beats felt rushed at times and no one felt...whole. but i guess who has time for growth when there's capital to be pushing
