I might pick this up some other time but it's currently beyond me. I love and hate the conversational style. I just can't connect enough to keep reading.

I have no idea what the point of this was. There’s barely any connecting threads. The chapters are all experimental, which isn’t bad necessarily, but made for a tough reading experience. I just don’t get it. Rare miss from McNally Editions. :/

"[...] pero por más que trato no te puedo perdonar, Jaime, no te puedo perdonar, maldito sea tu egoísmo y malditas todas las putas que sigo por la calle. Esta carta va al tacho de basura, para vos no pienso gastar un centavo en estampillas."

Un poco monótono por momentos, pero una joya de la experimentación con las voces y los tiempos.

A complicated, challenging, confusing read. The first two dozen pages are all dialogue with no additional context, making it hard to follow. May try this again another time (my DNF may be due to my current mood/headache) but for now I’m finding it difficult reading.

Me copa, pero es un lio de leer, did not enjoy. Me leí un poco mas de la mitad, y el cap final.

No puedo. Trato de ver lo que el autor ha querido plasmar pero este libro básicamente ha sido un montón de monólogos y diálogo  aleatorios y sin sentido.
