Big Machine by Victor LaValle
4.0
Kept me coming back for more.
Not sure if I got everything, feels like this book had grander things to say than what was on the surface.
The viewpoint (at least for me) is unique, as are many of the tales that are revealed during the story. Is this what they mean by "magical Realism"? Author is compared to Gabriel Garcia Marquez (whom I have never successfully been able to read) so I am assuming so.
Would recommend - for its viewpoint, the raw feel of its prose, and some truly delightful moments.
