I liked this book but I know for a fact I will forget what it's about in a couple months. Funnily enough, it had a similar impact on me as Pedro Páramo, a book by which its clearly inspired by: I really liked the beginning, there was some really fun elements that were introduced, but it sort of lost me by the end. An enjoyable read but nothing out of this world.
É um livro engraçado, com uma premissa forte e personagens interessantes, mas que na minha opinião tira às vezes pro absurdo e não de um jeito bom.
The more I thought about this book the more I liked it, which is how I went from wanting to give it a 3.5 to a 4.5. What stood out to me the most was the writing style, as it's an oral story put to text. It is a really beautiful and chaotic love letter to Luanda and its people, and to life itself. I read this cuz it said in the back it played with the absurd, and it did! I wish it went a little further, though I still genuinely loved this book :3
Samanta Schweblin continues to be one of my favourite authors of all time. The way she writes surreality and horror in her stories is really striking, I have yet to find an author that manages to construct such eeriness around each tale they tell.
More detailed thoughts in Spanish here:
Creo recordar que este es su primer libro de cuentos y se nota. En el sentido de que siete casas vacias, por ejemplo, es mucho más refinado. Cuando leo cuentos les doy puntuaciones al final, y este sin duda contiene la mayor cantidad de 2/5 y 3/5 que jamás les he dado a las obras de Schweblin.
¡Aún asà me encantó! Llevo bastante tiempo frustrada con mis lecturas, y fue por eso que decidà leer algo nuevo de Schweblin: querÃa saber si estaba creando un estándar inalcanzable, un ideal imaginado en base de mis recuerdos de Schweblin. Pero no, realmente es tan buena.
