Un libro absolutamente clásico de la literatura latinoamericana, enrevesado; con una estructura fragmentaria que va encajando sus piezas lentamente para construir el declive de un pueblo que va muriendo con un hombre.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Mental illness and Violence
Minor: Cursing, Gun violence, Incest, Gaslighting, and Alcohol

Moody and contemplative, as a good ghost story should be.
The format is almost dream-like, which is onteresting to read and adds to the tension I think.

We lose the thread of the son somewhere in the middle, which I think ultimately makes this too loose of a story.
