A review by snotboy
A Luminous Republic by Andrés Barba

4.0

Barba writes of children to talk about human nature, in this weird, fable-like telling about children who made their own society and the way the people responded to it. The way it is was paced and told kept it in this air of mystery and reflection, not so much about action or happening, but reaction and the complicated ways we respond to life. I read this after such small hands, which i loved, and was pleased this novel has his same uncanny feeling.
