fearandtrembling 's review for:
Reputations
by Juan Gabriel Vásquez
Smoothly, fluidly written. Exquisitely modulated humour and emotion. The kind of Good Writing that is seductive and soothing. The kind of writing that might lead one to think, "This is so profound". But it's basically rehashing some trite bourgeois concepts of art and politics, the personal vs political, without looking deeper at how memories and truth are collectively understood by the people, and how it is manipulated by the media. Will have to write a review of this, so I hope to flesh out some of these thoughts further.
