Lost Children Archive
by Valeria Luiselli
Did Not Finish
I listened to over a third of this but just couldn't go on. I felt like I was reading an art installation instead of a novel. It seemed like there was a distance between myself and the book that I just couldn't bridge, particularly between myself and the characters and plot. I couldn't get into Luiselli's other book, The Story of My Teeth either, although with this one I at least got to hear her narrate her work, which was a plus. I wouldn't say this is pretentious, but it's not necessarily not pretentious either.
