The Transmigration of Bodies by Yuri Herrera
4.0
A post-apocalyptic setting in a big city. There is a virus that is killing people and everyone is told to shelter in place.
Our narrator, The Redeemer, is growing antsy in his apartment, but soon is given a task. His task is complicated by two warring families that he finds himself trying to navigate in order to complete said task.
I don't want to give away elements of the story, because I think you need to gain understanding organically as the plot unfolds.
I like Herrera's use of language. Even though this is a translated work, you can tell that language is malleable for Herrera and he doesn't stick to standard forms of speaking to get his point across.
