Brickmakers by Selva Almada

Hell. And now I don't have to read Dante. Brilliantly written and translated. These poor people; they saw no other way to live. I got a little confused reading this as I was drinking for about 50 percent of it and hung over for about 30 percent, but I was able to follow the story. Some people compared this to Faulkner, but it is not as hard to understand as say, Sound and Fury, or something like that.
